Years ago, I said forcing kids maskless back into classrooms would cause infections and spread of #COVID19. I was told kids wouldn't be spreaders. Research from France during Omicron found "Children aged 10 to 19y played the greatest relative role in propagating Omicron epidemics, particularly when schools were open, followed by children aged 0 to 9y." With COVID mutating, immunity fading & kids still maskless in schools, will we get serious about safe air in classrooms?

@zephyrleifrenner Nothing is 100%--not masks, vaccines, ventilation or filtration. But giving up because something isn't a perfect solution is why we have the issues we do. If you search, you'll find plenty of evidence that air purifiers do, in fact, make classrooms much safer. https://www.brusselstimes.com/243591/air-purifiers-in-classrooms-greatly-reduces-risk-of-covid-19-infections-study-confirms
