The ionry is a normal Big Ass Fan is probably exactly what we need.
A big thing that moves air.
But people are to stupid to know that. The media (including HN) is too broken to deliver people simple messages.
So people can only listen to complex messages they don't fully understand, so it needs all the extra fluff to sell.

- aaron695 6y agoYour link is the medias factoid about mask wearing. And this is the problem, no one is explaining first principals to you. You are probably thinking of this factoid in China about air conditioners and this diagram, which is not what we are talking about at all. (The evidence is downward air is what you want) https://www.businessinsider.com.au/how-restaurant-air-conditioning-gave-nine-people-covid-china-2020-4 https://www.businessinsider.com.au/how-restaurant-air-condit...
