HOW TO BUILD A CORSI-ROSENTHAL BOX The Corsi-Rosenthal Box is an affordable DIY air-cleaning system made with simple materials found in hardware stores. The box fan pulls air through the filters on the sides and blows out clean air. It is proven to reduce indoor exposure to airborne particles including those containing the virus that causes COVID-19. The box can also decrease the levels of other particles in the air, such as dust or wildfire smoke. • Filters can last up to a year • Keep away from walls and corners THE MATERIALS • Filters 3M 1900 MPR (20" x 20"x 1" or 20" x 25" x 1") or MERV 13 (20" x 20"x 2" or 20"x 20"x 1" or 20"x 25"x 2" or 20"x 25"x 1" [2-inch preferred]) • Lasko or Mainstays 20-inch Box Fan • Scissors, Utility Knife, Duct Tape THE CUBE • Arrange the filters to create a symmetrical structure • Ensure the arrows are pointing inwards • Duct tape the four edges • Vertical orientation of the pleats is preferred THE BASE • Use one side of the fan's cardboard box • Cut the cardboard to fit the base of the cube. • Duct tape it on all four sides THE FAN • Place the fan on top of the cube • Seal all sides, including corners • Ensure any holes on the side of the fan are sealed off with duct tape THE SHROUD • Cut the other cardboard sheet to fit the top of the fan • Cut a circular hole (15.75" diameter) • Place the shroud on the fan and tape it on all four sides • The shroud increases efficiency and decreases the noise level

tweet from @TwiRainbow at 11:01AM Dec 30 2019: "Don't panic. Notices from the Wuhan CDC, Health Commission (Health Bureau), and major hospitals over the years show that pneumonia of unknown origin occurs almost every winter or spring. As long as it doesn't occur on a large scale, there's no issue. It's always normal for some cases of pneumonia to be difficult to quickly identify the cause."
tweet by @DCheng36387164 from December 30, 2019: "Rumor has it that a SARS outbreak / suspected SARS pneumonia epidemic has appeared in Wuhan City, China."
