We&#8217;ve been so busy, I did not get a chance to post for Easter. On Saturday, my daughter Kimberly came and helped us by filling in for Dondi, who is out until next Wednesday. I told Kimberly that I feel like the Grinch who cancelled the Easter Egg Hunt the day before Easter. Kynzley, the grandbaby is two and more aware of Easter this year.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking back to last year, we were interrupted three or four days with snow. As bad as those disruptions were, I think the cold weather killed a lot of the airborne germs and viruses. Whereas this year, the unseasonably warm temperatures have allowed those contaminants to linger and spread.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We have three people out with the flu today. I encouraged them all to stay home and get better before returning to the office. I&#8217;m taking some extra precautionary measures to protect our environment at the office. On busy days we have 90 people per day foot traffic through here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>I have ordered two <span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\">AeroCure One units. They are\u00a0Professional Grade HEPA Air Purifiers with UV Disinfection and with proven elimination of bacteria, viruses &amp; fungi.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-476\" src=\"http:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aerocure-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"aerocure air quality solution\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aerocure-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aerocure-300x388.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aerocure.jpg 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/>The units will be here and installed tomorrow. Here&#8217;s some quotes from the literature on them. The AeroCure One is one professional air quality solution which combines medical-grade HEPA filtration with ultraviolet elimination of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores. Unlike standard air filtration systems, it uses a unique patent-pending internal reactor system which combines a full 32 watts of ultraviolet light with a solid matrix of UV-transmissible lenses. This matrix creates turbulence in the airflow, slows down microorganisms in the air stream, increasing the effective ultraviolet exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The ultraviolet light of the reactor damages the DNA of microorganisms, killing them. This technology was originally developed for hospitals by a physician who was concerned about airborne antibiotic-resistant organisms. This system has been independently tested by the CDC-affiliated Research Triangle Institute and has been proven to eliminate virtually all airborne viruses, bacteria and spores in controlled laboratory conditions.<\/p>\n<p>So you may see less of me going through the office spraying Lysol!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, Happy Easter everyone!
