Coronavirus Air Filters

Are there any air filters out there that would filter out the coronavirus? I'm going to stay in my car while all this plays out

Haha...no there are not, because the virus isn't actually airborne. It spreads through fluid droplets from infected people who sneeze and cough and if those droplets land in your mouth or nose, or you touch a surface with them on it and then touch your mouth or nose. You'll be perfectly safe in your car as it is and don't touch anything that may have come in contact with infected people and then pick your nose afterwards. Wash, wash and wash your hands regularly. Some also recommend to wear a mask so that you can't touch your mouth and nose. We humans touch our mouth or nose about 90 times a day w/o realizing.

A lot of intake systems use made in China filters so no doubt some will get free "surprises" installing them.

Yes, the anti coronavirus feature is very simple to use actually. All you have to do is stick flu vaccine fluid into the air ionizer in the glove compartment. The climate control system will then ionize the vaccine and distribute it into the cabin.

I think I found a solution to protect from the virus and outside air coming in. Added bonus is while driving I imagine the masks as a bra and a set of 36 DD's behind it.

That's funny...but what's up with the plastic over the floor liners? Part of the Corona package?

My fiancee works as an RN in an ER. The doctors on staff are bringing in their own masks to help with the supply.

A local construction company also donated their respirators. I'm anxious for her and her co-workers on a daily basis.

Really hope the supply chain can rise to this challenge.

Thank your fiancee and your family from all of us! Medical and Health Care Professionals are at the center of this pandemic and I thank all and every one of them to risk their own health to help others! I have family members with typical and severe symptoms in quarantine and hope for the best every day! Thank You!!

Thanks man. Really appreciate the kind words. I shared this with her and she passes along her thanks as well. This type of support means a lot to her and her co-workers. I'm sure there are some more on this board, so I will join you in thanking all the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals out there right now.

Her attitude toward going to work hasn't changed one bit; she's been fearless. Meanwhile, I'm a nervous wreck the entire time she's there lol.

Hope you and yours stay safe. That goes for everyone else here, too.

She is indeed fearless and got all my respect! Good luck to you all.
In my case it's that my family stays home while I go to work daily. I am trying to do the best for our Employees to make it save and preventing shut down and keep our manufacturing and service of medical devices going. Wish we could do more.

Thank you! Good luck to you as well. Sounds like you're absolutely doing your part. I've got a massive amount of respect and admiration for all of the companies that are manufacturing medical equipment right now; it's almost like a wartime effort.

Stuck at home for at least 30-days in my coronavirus bunker. My sis called and wanted me to send my pops some N-95 masks. Found out I can do it all online and Postman will pick it up from my doorstep tomorrow. My pops is amazing. He served in Vietnam and was also in Oahu when Pearl Harbor was bombed because my grandfather was in the Navy and stationed there. Navy kids had to take a small ferry right through battleship row to get to Ford Island where the school was. He was standing on the roof of their quarters and saw the planes coming in. Lot more to him and that story but perhaps another time. Here I am with him and my two sisters around 1968. It's a pic of a pic is why the resolution is so low.

Okay got my mask and filters today. Here are some pics. I didn't have this for thirty minutes and headed out the door to Costco. Those canisters are huge. Got a lot of stares at stoplights and oncoming traffic. Best part was Costco. A guy jokingly said to his wife: "Honey you don't have to worry about farting he won't smell it" - lol. Think I had it a bit too tight as it felt like it was smashing my face. Other then that it's pretty comfortable and very easy to breathe in. Some people must have thought how bad is this virus if he's wearing that. All in good fun and the main benefit is definitely the protection.
