For those who want a quick recap on epidemiology:
It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage over and over to strengthen everyone's immune system.
So that's why I built this thing. It's the new hygienic infrastructure that we need to get our lives back.

It's a shame that the EPA web page does not highlight Corsi Rosenthal boxes or other DIY air purifiers that are just as effective as some commercial air purifiers that are at least 10 times more expensive. The savings can be used to build more air purifiers.
This is my best air purifier of all - a DIY box fan air purifier with filters attached to the back. It's almost as effective as a #CorsiRosenthalBox but is more portable and takes up less space.

Aim for 6-12 air changes per hour during outbreaks. Use the highest MERV you can (ideally MERV 13), set the fan to “On” when rooms are occupied, and add a HEPA portable sized by CADR ≈ two-thirds of the room’s area.
