Incrementally the reason for increasing absence rates in schools could be long Covid in children
"A large Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study suggests that US school-aged children diagnosed as having long COVID are at 2.5 times the risk of related chronic absenteeism compared with those without the condition."

How do you select an appropriately sized portable air cleaner for a room?
TLDR:
Imperial Units: CADR (in CFM) = 2/3 Floor Area (ft2)
Metric Units: CADR (in m3/h) = Volume (m3) * 4.4

Here's an easy way to select a minimum clean air delivery rate (CADR) when you're shopping for a portable air cleaner (filter).
For example, if my room is 15 ft x 12 ft = 180 sq ft, then I'd want a CADR of at least 120 CFM (cubic feet per minute).
For example, if my room is 15 ft x 12 ft = 180 sq ft, then I'd want a CADR of at least 120 CFM (cubic feet per minute).
