It will help because it will filter the air. In order to answer a more concrete question, like "Will 1 CR box filter the air enough to meet ASHRAE infection control standards for this use case?", this model can help:https://airsupportproject.com/airwareness/

There are 1-filter and 2-filter versions that might help in a pinch. This image gallery has a few photos for examples. cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filt...

If you're outside for a while, you'll need a respirator with cartridges that can also handle toxic gases, carbon monoxide, and vapors in addition to particulates. N95s are good for stopping particulates from getting into your lungs. For the eyes, you'll need goggles or a full face respirator.

same consideration from clinicians. We ignore the science showing that people with PEM are in energetic crisis (Wust et al) and/or experiencing heart failure during exercise (Systrom et al) and stick with the deeply flawed framework that the best way to fix someone who can’t 20/

whilst respecting PEM is possible. However, if someone has severe PEM, sure - they can have POTS as well, but the diagnosis of POTS honestly becomes a little moot - if you’re so sick with PEM that you can’t tolerate light, or brushing your teeth, or rolling over in bed? Let’s 17/

interventions, but there is one incredibly important caveat: they don’t just have POTS, they have POTS + PEM as a result of their IACC. This complicates things. Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is crushing, dangerous and can be worsened by anything that makes the body produce 15/

Therein lies a problem with blindly relying on evidence-based practice: it only tells you so much about what to do, until you have a non-responder. Or perhaps phrased more eloquently by Iron Mike: “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. What happens when a 7/
