I know that my head is still reeling even after all these months dealing with the pandemic.
The sense of helplessness can certainly be something that stays with a person given the health crisis we are living through. I am still grateful that I am able to continue to work albeit inside the HVAC comfort of my home. While I have maintained my work schedule for the most part, my wife lost her job entirely. So, our economic situation hasn’t been the best and spending has been reduced to only essentials. Yet, I still wanted to do what I could to make sure that my family was as protected from the virus as possible. After a bit of research and help from our friends from the HVAC place, I have found a proactive solution to help us maintain our health. It turns out that some recent studies find that a whole house air purifier working together with a HEPA type HVAC air filter helps get the virus out of the air. Of course, this is not a cure or a sure fire method of not catching the virus, but it really helps. With the whole house air purifier and the HEPA air filter, the aerosol virus particulate is removed from inside air within 30 minutes. This combination is just an added layer of protection from this potentially deadly virus. It helps be rest a bit easier since I have a genetically suppressed immune response and I am more vulnerable to the worst effects of Covid. But the feeling of actually being proactive has helped replace that feeling of helplessness at least a bit.
