Been really sick cold/flu whatever.
My wife was so sick her cold/flu is now pneumonia. She is in the hospital due to come home today.
She did get better they gave her antibiotics via intravenous.
My local hospital has 284 beds the nurses were telling me 215 of the 284 beds have people with
cold/flu/pneumonia symptoms kind of frightening to think of those numbers.
from what i observe older people have weaker lungs.
you can upgrade the air quality of a room by:
using air purifier with HEPA capability:
- always get the bigger model of a product line up, the product where you think you can easily get the replacement HEPA filter and run the fan in slower speed (more quiet environment and good volume of air getting filtered)
- since HEPA filters are expensive you can prolong it's life by using an extra layer of filter, my recommendation is a cheap one. like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BO96IW/ref=psdc_13397451_t1_B008B7ZIXS - where you can cut and use duct tape to hold it in place over the air purifier intake (will filter before the HEPA filter), so that the HEPA filter will just filter the small particulates.
- use cheap duct tape too, you only need it to last until the next filter replacement.
my HEPA filter is still good after 2 years, i think it can reach three years. airflow is stil good and color is still not that "ugly dark".
-i got a 3 ply above the HEPA filter...peel the 3rd after it got dirty and the last two ply i remove at the same time.
the cheap filter which can be cut and can also be applied to a room AC (it's original intended use), so overall you get two air purifier in a room--in my room AC i got a 3 ply setup, the 4th ply is the small cuts that i didn't want to go to waste.
-in changing, peeling the 4th first, then the third..the last 2 filter i replace at the same time---my AC evaporator is still clean after 2 years LOL
anyway spending a lot of time in a room because sleeping alone is ~8 hours + computer time + relaxing time, making a clean air room I think is a must. in a house where there is a mining room that tends to move air around more, small particles will be moving around too.
