    What if, and hear me out,

    What if…

    What if… we just ran them when people weren’t in the room? 🤯

    Crazy what happens when you can come up with your own thoughts instead of parroting reddit comments ad nauseam.

      This is already a thing in many hospitals, and has been used extensively even before covid.

        And there are also UV systems that can be added to air ducts to kill off airborne pathogens as well. But they’re not cheap and not commonly used outside of medical facilities.

      Lemmy users don’t respond well to reasonable criticism or facts.

      Only toxic and stupid comments allowed.
