Me, July 2020: Build downdraft paint booths for K-12 schools?
Why not a system for schools in which (a) each classroom has its own HVAC system, (b) there are 8-12 outlets in the ceiling, and (c) there are 8-12 exhaust outlets in the floor? For maximum safety, the system would have no recirculation.
Hollywood (and Racism League Yale) meets the United Nations, this month: “Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter Violet calls for post-COVID mask mandate in impassioned UN speech” (Page Six):
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter Violet made an impassioned speech at the United Nations on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old called for post-COVID mask mandates — while wearing one of her own — to combat “unmitigated infection and reinfection.”
The teen also advocated for “clean air infrastructure that is so ubiquitous and so obviously necessary … that tomorrow’s children don’t even know why we need it.”
The Yale University student wishes to “recognize filtered air as a human right, as intuitively as we do filtered water.”
She continued, “It is a neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say, ‘We knew how to protect you and we didn’t do it. We have access to a technology to prevent airborne disease … and we refuse to use it.”
It’s never too late to be proved right!

- Train Americans to use masks the way that surgeons do or restructure the physical environment? (May 28, 2020: “Take out half the shelves in a Target for example, so that people are naturally farther apart. With so many other retailers shutting down, there is plenty of mall space. … switch small retail to more like it was in the 18th century. Customer enters spacious front part of shop and asks for item. Shopkeeper goes into jammed back part shelves to retrieve requested item.”)
You are prescient sometimes, Phil. We both ought to start charging rent, IYKWIS.
One is well-advised to wear their PPE when painting a biz jet. I talked to one on the line who said if his mask failed he would probably be in the ICU, like an electrical lineperson and xher gloves.
I can’t speak for Violet (love the grrll power T and your PPE goggles are lit), but I’m very ugly and I always wear my N-95. I’ve had them printed up with an attractive lower 2/3 face with beard. My goggles have an insert with eyes painted on so I can sleep in meetings like Costanza. I get approached all the time by the “curious”. I wonder if she shames her boorish Yalie suitemate for taking financial aid, when Bennie can’t even afford to install a gold swimming pool?
Oh, and since Hollywood is the new Science and Government (since at least Reagan), I have no problem with this nepo appearance at the U.N. Let us not forget Greta T., that font of truth, whose parents are actors. Post new world order.
Seriously though, please keep the PC out of our downdraft booths, the result ain’t pretty:

Surgeons you say?
A [pakistani] doctor who left a patient midway through an operation to have sex with a nurse is at “very low risk” of repeating his serious misconduct, a medical tribunal has ruled.

One presumes they kept their masks on.
Tom: He spent 90% of his time in the hospital having sex with nurses and then just wasted the remaining 10%.
Tell me you’ve never drank tap water in your life without telling me.
Yeah, sure the air has been trying to kill you for years. But here’s another offspring (Rumer Willis) of actors with a much more immediate concern – your toilet paper.

Apart from disgusting nepo thing, I’m kinda split on this one.
On one hand, it’s good to reduce infections that rage through schools and kindergartens in season. On the other hand, are we going to raise generation of immune-compromised children?
@KS, I think you meant to say raising a generation of “woke” children who panic and run away at the sight of a fly, afraid of getting infected!
