In a small Oslo pilot study, portable HEPA air cleaners cut fine particle (PM2.5) levels in classrooms by about 29%. It measured particles, not illness, and larger trials are needed. Filtration forms one layer.

"Dont unionize/strike just because other people elsewhere are making less" is a perfect ex of lack of class consciousness in the US. Everyone should be unionized. Everyone should be striking. Workers make gains thru unionization efforts. All of US labor history proves this.

Systems surprise us when things below the surface burst through: they 'flip' into a new state.
As more people accept that SARS-2 is harmful, as the wish for protections grows, the pressure to break the social norm of no protections will shatter, and a new norm will emerge.

Nine years ago Emma Thompson spoke to @maitlis for #Newsnight on the predator de jour Weinstein. Me Too was supposed to be the watershed.
We know how that turned out.
This week female execs have gone from Warner Bros, Netflix & Paramount.
It wasn’t just Weinstein, it wasn’t just Brand, it isn’t just Gisele Pelicot.
It’s systemic misogyny.

What I will never, ever understand - or forgive, for that matter - is the absolute contradiction inherent at the policy level of 'normalising' Covid-19, yet simultaneously severely limiting vaccine access and refusing to explain to the public the value of using respirator masks.

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

CADR means clean air delivery rate: how much filtered air a cleaner produces each hour. Divide it by your room volume and you get air changes per hour. It is a simple way to compare air cleaners.

Absolutely true, and as a @TheGreenParty member, we also need to be talking about this. Palantir hasn't increased the numbers of people waiting over 12 hours one hundred-fold. That's Covid. You can't pretend a pandemic away
Our NHS belongs to patients, not Palantir.
Labour must put people before military tech companies and corporate profits.
ALT Green Party quote graphic featuring Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party, pictured on the right against a dark green background. Large white text on the left reads: “Labour is betraying us all by allowing the corporate capture of our most beloved institution - the NHS - by a genocide and Donald Trump supporting tech corporation.” The quote is attributed to Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party.

24 hours ago I wrote that Trump biographers agreed this was the calm before the storm; Trump was going to go crazy, not chill out; and we only had 24–96 hours before it happened.
Well, here we are: Stephen Miller is Chief of Staff, suspension of habeas corpus is being discussed.
In Hungary someone took these kinds of clips from Hungarian state television on their election night and put them to tango music.

Alternative view: without the bravery of the women involved - supported by @RosamundUrwin & @char_wace of the Sunday Times, and @geraldine_mck then of @C4Dispatches but now of our parish - Russell Brand’s crimes may never have come to light.

So odd how we're not calling years of below-inflation pay rises "quiet paycutting"
'Quiet quitting' could be hitting the economy - here's why bbc.in/4ijTORZ

#DearAndy: Please fund research, commission specialist care and hold an inquiry.
In our founding county of #Hampshire, children are testing positive for #COVID19 right now.
Government must #SupportSchools and take infection prevention and #CleanAir in classrooms seriously.
