That's promising. If this reduces the R value by 30%, then generalizing this may have a compounding effect and could reduce an epidemy's overall size by more than 30%.

Too true. Children shouldn't be voting for anyone, much less Republicans.

Took me a second to understand.

Is it the letter R? I don't get it.

R is a statistical measure of correlation. High R means two things are strongly correlated. Dropping the R value decreases the correlation.

R is also used to note US Republican politicians. Dropping the number of Rs in congress would also have a positive effect on health and wellness.

Then it will be a matter of time before crazy parents claim the filters are 5G brainwashing or some BS like that.

Or the opposite. One could say it's filtering out the vaccine which they falsely claim people are shedding.

You just have to tell those people that purifiers are a scam, and that they actually make the air worse and they will eat it up.
