The first order of the day is to stay home and stay safe.
That is something I totally get.
However, I also understand how completely maddening that must be for a lot of people. When you throw in the fact that we are all getting squeezed financially, it makes listening to the naysayers a bit easier. I hope and pray that we are disciplined enough as countrymen to do this right and not just make it worse. Being locked down in my HVAC controlled home is not picnic. But, it beats maybe dying from a virus or passing it on to someone else who then might die. This time inside the HVAC comfort of my home has gotten me to consider my surroundings even more. I know that the indoor air quality of my home is impacted greatly by the HVAC system. It is time to become far more proactive about making sure the air inside my house is healthy. This started with getting a very good HEPA type HVAC air filter. What I had been using was not at all what I thought it was. It was my assumption that the cheaper filters were keeping out contagions and contaminants. That is so far from the truth. The cheap HVAC air filters are only filtering out particles big enough to cause harm on the HVAC equipment. The new air filter will trap and remove over 99 percent of airborne contaminants. When I can, I am taking it up a notch with a whole house air purifier which will then kill nearly all biological contaminants.
