There was an item in New Scientist, perhaps last century, of an experiment done at a hospital’s ICU ( UK, iirc, the hospital had some kind of religious name, like St (somethingorother) ),

and that experiment tested whether patient-to-patient infections were affected by ionizers ( which charge the air, making particles in the air stick to surfaces, like walls, objects, whatever )…

That experiment had no effect in the control condition, but the ionizer-test condition reduced those infections down to ZERO.

No hospital with any reputation would dare use such “New Age woo”, of course, no matter that evidence, combined with the Hippocratic Oath ( 1st do no harm! ), should oblige its use.

Bah.

I couldn’t find much of anything through DuckDuckGo.com

and Scholar.Google.com had stuff that wasn’t what I was trying to find,

and normal google had this

https://www.google.com/search?q="ionizer" "icu" "hospital" "infection" reduce patient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-m#ip=1

Anyways, according to the NO cases of inter-patient infection that was reported in the study I remember, it should have been made globally normal.

Notice that the things are called, by many, “air cleaners”.

I’m disputing that air cleaners have no effect on health ( put a box-fan with a 20"-square furnace-filter on the suction-side of it, and it’ll reduce the amount of dust, without any expensive products, and in some areas, in industrial or desert zones, e.g. it’ll likely reduce the harm done to one’s lungs by that air ), and pointing-out that different definitions of “air cleaner” are valid, though not about the same thing.

What are the security-recommendations you have for Linux, Wine, & Proton users,

that we simply wouldn’t, or don’t commonly, think of, given your abnormal expertise/view?

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

There is a Powerlaw underlying global temperature, in the interglacial-times:

280-ish parts-per-million CO2 as the baseline…

The 9th-root-of-2 times that, gives you what CO2 level produces 1C global warming.

280*(9th-root-of-2)^2 gives you what ppm CO2 produces 2C global warming.

280*(9th-root-of-2)^3 gives you what ppm CO2 produces 3C global warming.

All the way up to 9C.

All the simulaitons which contradict the measured polar heating, the mega-rivers IN Greenland’s ice, etc, are red herrings, and relying on them is incompetent: the evidence has already falsified their predictions.

Here is the paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

Notice that even not counting all the other greenhouse-gasses, like methane, sulfur-hexafuoride, etc, we already have guaranteed that the planet must stabilize at more than 5C,

… not the 1.5C or 2C that the simulations-which-contradict-evidence predict.

This powerlaw is measured, historical fact.

Delusionally ignoring it … isn’t worthy of respect, OR able to create viability for our species.

I don’t know that there will be any life left, in the tropics, within 1 century.

400+ cubic-km/year melting, now, iirc, and still accelerating, darkening the albedo of the planet…
