You essentially show you’re a bad faith govt if you only support projects for something else. It usually isn’t this naked.
"We didn't optimize placement or air changes or make sure they were turned on so air filters don't work" The study's limitations aren't trivial: they're disqualifying. What SHOULD have been measured: fluid dynamics, viral presence, particulate spread, etc. was not. WTF. #JunkScience #HEPA #JAMA
Not only did only ~12% of participants get in-room HEPA (sharing common areas with the other 1,570 who didn't, with "up to 5" shared HEPAs), in-room HEPAs were only (reportedly) "usually" (which is...not a scientific unit of measure! 🙄) turned on. For "pragmatic" read "sloppy"
All the study did was *fail to demonstrate a statistically significant benefit* of a specific, half-measures combination of filter units - which is unsurprising when you actually read it! Of 1778 residents in "intervention" care homes, only 208 (~1 in 8) got an in-room HEPA (on the lowest setting).
Diving into the article, the title itself is directly mis- (arguably dis-)information, and the manipulative image caption is inappropriate ("monkey business" indeed). The study did (could) NOT show "Air filters don’t stop you catching infectious respiratory diseases" - a misleading exaggeration.
We are living in a dystopian state in Ontario. Look at these ads that our province is running. people don't have anywhere to go anymore - and if you aren't a moment or two away from being in the same spot, count yourself fucking lucky.

My advice to Canadians is don’t get on the back foot and attempt to defend our wildfire management across 3 million square kms to Americans. Get on the front foot and explain how decades of US emissions have contributed to Canada’s forests heating up, leading to more and bigger fires and more smoke.
