“Getting sick frequently at school is not inevitable, and it isn’t because kids are just harbingers of viruses. It’s more because the buildings they inhabit do not have adequate ventilation and filtration systems to reduce illness transmission,” @mjnabuurs.bsky.social said.

Clean air means less sickness.
Running the Blast costs just £8.60/week to keep the air cleaner for 600 pupils & 20 teachers!
Research also showed that HEPA filters cut illness-related absences by 20%. That means fewer supply-teacher costs… and potential savings of £218 every week for your school.

Yes, talk about vaccines, ofc that's important.
But there's something else we could talk about here: a measure that protects everyone but doesn't trigger endless debates on the choice to vaccinate.

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈
