(1/12) No. The painful truth about #LongCOVID is not the alleged suppression of brain retraining, but that the scale of the pandemic and aftermath were preventable. Systemic and collective failures emerged from a chain of poor decisions. Millions dead. Millions of lives ruined. Trillions $ lost.

New study suggests that raising school ventilation levels to ASHRAE 241 targets could reduce flu cases by 33% for the WHOLE POPULATION! We need clean air in schools so bad!!! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
Climate-Ready Buildings: Insights from U.S. Schools in a Global Context

Climate Week NYC • Sept 23
Projected Health Impacts of Cleaner Air in NYC Schools 
Geetha Jeyapragasan and Charlie Whittaker I University of California, Berkeley
We modelled the projected impact of higher levels of ventilation and filtration in NYC schools. We did this by assessing the impact of achieving a field-recognized standard for healthy indoor air (ASHRAE Standard 241), developed by the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, the professional association of ventilation engineers. Adopting it in schools would reduce the burden of seasonal respiratory illness and improve preparedness for future epidemics.
We developed an epidemiological modelling framework to estimate how improving building air quality affects airborne disease transmission in schools. Here, using seasonal influenza as a case study, we share results about the potential public health impact of raising ventilation such that all schools met ASHRAE 241 targets, approximately 9 equivalent air changes per hour (ACH).
INFLUENZA INFECTIONS AVERTED
PER YEAR
54%
IN CHILDREN
33%
IN OVERALL POPULATION
Share of influenza infections averted in children and the general population if all schools achieved ASHRAE 241 filtration targets. This also results in 30% reduction in hospitalizations across all ages.

Days of school absenteeism prevented each year through reduced influenza transmission, and the value of the parental working time no longer lost to caring for sick children.

Why This Matters for New York City
ALL FLU CASES
New York City operates the largest public school system in the United States, with approximately 880,000 students across 1,800 schools. A large portion of this infrastructure predates modern ventilation standards, with the average school building around 70 years old. An inspection of NYC schools i…

Arrogance, ignorance, incompetence and failure are the defining characteristics of infection control leadership today. It's where Dunning-Kruger fails upwards. The blood of millions is on their hands - and the inaction of medical disciplinary bodies makes loss of public trust the rational response.
From the UK COVID Inquiry, but reflective of similar failures in Canada, at the WHO, and the many other jurisdictions where arrogant medical leaders with little or no scientific expertise engaged in a lethal turf war rejected the advice of scientific experts.

Fundamental flaws in the UK’s approach
1.44	Despite knowledge accumulating of how Covid-19 may have been transmitted as the pandemic progressed (as set out above), insufficient steps were taken to adapt the infection prevention and control guidance for healthcare settings across the UK. This placed healthcare workers and patients at greater risk.
1.45	The UK’s approach to infection prevention and control in healthcare settings during the Covid-19 pandemic suffered from three fundamental flaws:
Assumptions about respiratory viruses: There was an over-reliance on historical assumptions about how to distinguish between modes of transmission for respiratory viruses. This led to an initial misunderstanding of the level of risk posed by aerosol transmission and a failure to recommend sufficient protections against it.
Insufficient caution: Alternative routes of transmission other than droplet or contact were prematurely ruled out. This meant that pre-existing assumptions that Covid-19 was not ordinarily spread by aerosols became the received wisdom until the contrary was proved.
Lack of structure and expertise of the UK IPC Cell: In reality, the UK IPC Cell acted as the decision-maker as to the content of guidance. However, its remit was insufficiently defined, leading to uncertainty over its role and a lack of accountability. The backgrounds of its experts were also insufficiently broad. These factors created a bias towards maintaining the status quo, rather than responding to emerging evidence dynamically.
1.46	The combined effect of these interconnected flaws led to a failure to properly protect patients and healthcare workers against the risks posed by Covid-19.
