4 months agoI thought CO2 concentration was just an analog for measuring air circulation and how often the air is vented outside and therefore how many viruses would be in the air
But nope you’re right! Higher CO2 concentrations keep airborne viruses viable for longer. That’s wild Here’s the first result when I looked it up: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/cabot/news/2024/virus.html
As someone who works outside frequently and in Texas, this is a very good thing.
Texas recently blocked cities and counties from having heat stroke prevention rules for businesses.
Florida did similarly as well.
A rule like this will save lives (assuming it can survive the court system)
