"Increasing the CO2 concentration to just 800 parts per million, a level widely identified as being a marker of good ventilation, significantly extended the life spans of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants. At higher concentrations — like those you might expect to find in a crowded, poorly ventilated room — Haddrell’s team found that 10 times as much virus remained infectious after 40 minutes when compared to clean air."
Every few years the percentage of income "thought" to be OK to spend on housing and transportation is increased. Eventually there will be none left for food, heat, and electricity.
