Opening the Windows Really Works!
Experts trying to prepare for the possibility of an influenza pandemic are looking at the best way to avoid airborne disease spread in hospitals. Seems like a good idea, right?
Think they’re calling for new forms of ventilation? Pumping out infected air? High-tech solutions? Nope…just open the windows.
That’s right! Retuers Health reports that researchers concluded: “Opening windows and doors maximizes natural ventilation so that the risk of airborne contagion is much lower than with costly, maintenance-requiring mechanical ventilation systems.”
Isn’t there some “old wives’ tale” about opening the windows and airing out the house? Seems like those old wives were right (again 
).
