I think it important to point out that heat has a damaging effect on the virus.
Since you re making ‘real world’ decisions.
Fresh air is good too. No doubt.
Find a balance.
Is it cold in Manila these days? Or the Middle East?
Can we just admit we don’t know. This stating shit as if it were fact, when there are such glaring facts opposing it is just wrong.
This is not the flu. It is completely new and different virus. So please stop making definitive statements like that.
Turn up the heat, push out as much air as you can and still keep the temperature up, and pay the utility company...
Greenies and your wallet will be weeping, but it’s fairly cheap prevention, all things considered, esp. if one has a high risk member of the household.
That’s sort of what we are going to do with my Mom. Put a window fan in an upstairs window, pushing air out, and run up the heat downstairs, where she stays. (Kinda wish she was upstairs and we’d exit air downstairs, but there is no shower or tub upstairs, and she is wheelchair / walker (a few steps) bound.) Plus the thermostat is downstairs in the area she usually stays in. That’s convenient! I really wish we could keep her mostly in her bedroom (fairly large, could put a TV in there, etc., but she won’t stand for it, at least just yet.)
I have 4 of those standup quartz radiant heaters, which helps, for spot / zone heating. Only problem is the safety thermal breakers in them get flaky with age & shut down way too soon. So I can only run ‘em at half power (which does greatly mitigate the risk of overloading a circuit, if used one per circuit and no other heavy power consumers on said circuit.)
