Common Criticism 1. We don’t even have air conditioning in classrooms, and you’re worried about HEPAs?! 

Answer: Has it occurred to anyone that kids need BOTH and not neither? 

Common Criticism 2: HEPAs won’t do anything. Ju…

Common Criticism 3: Are you going to pay for them?! (They’re too expensive.) 

Answer: First of all, the school boards *should* be purchasing & maintaining HEPAs. With all of the hand waving about absences, you’d think investing in staff & student health would be a no brainer… 

Second: Is anyone considering how expensive it is to have a sick child and/or to be sick themselves? Even with socialized medicine in Canada, it costs 💰 to take time off. I…

Common Criticism 4: If the schools were ever going to get HEPAs, they would have done it during COVID. There’s no point trying now. 

Answer: ‘During COVID’ is now & we will need airborne mitigations now and for the foreseeable future. Remember, policy moves slower than science...
