Air Conditioning Causes Coronavirus, Says "experts"

Timothy Birdnow

Liberals hate air conditioning. Pope Francis came out against a/c because it uses too much energy, something he thinks is somehow immoral. He's not the only one, and so many environmentalists despise our ability to stay cool on a hot day because they think it somehow wrong to alter an unpleasant environment.

Well, never let a good crisis go to waste...

Turn off your air conditioning, experts say after WHO shifts stance on airborne coronavirus

Yes, they are linking air conditioning and the virus.

From the article:

Experts told the Telegraph that air conditioning units that only used recirculated air could exacerbate the spread of virus particles if someone was infected with Covid-19.

Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, a fellow at the Royal Academy of Engineering, said there were two types of air conditioning units - ones that take air in from outside and expel it out again, or those that recirculate the same air.

This second type, known as a "split” unit, draws air in, passes it over cooling coils and sends it back into the room.

Guidance from the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers, which Dr Fitzgerald helped draw up, warns that split air conditioning units that do not have a "dedicated source of outside air supply into a room… could be responsible for recirculating and spreading airborne viral particles into the path of socially distanced users”.

Of course fresh air helps rid the home of bacteria, allergens, and yes a few viruses. But most viruses are caught from infected surfaces, not from the air. This type of virus especially so. The notion that we are going to get sick from our air-conditioner is merely as scare tactic to manipulate people into not using a life-saving device.

People are going to DIE from heat this summer, more as a result of this sort of irresponsible "reporting".

This is disgraceful, but hardly surprising. The Left wants you poor, fat, uncomfortable, and stupid. And everything is political to them. This is nothing different.
