    I hope this ends with opening a window! Many cleaning products are not good to breathe in, and opening a window would actually help with the thing this is supposed to something about, while *also* helping minimize potential harms this—which depend on what they are spraying.https://twitter.com/32BJSEIU/status/1437400095251705856 …

        If it's a chemical that's bad for viruses, probably bad for other organic tissue too. This stuff can settle and get aerosolized later. @cduhigg shares the founding story of Febreze - they had to add a smell so people knew they did something. This seems similar.

        At this point in the pandemic I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Febreze.

        I wouldn't be shocked if the person that ordered that spraying was a troll first and foremost but also a conspiracy theorist --- trying to troll as many different people in one swoop. Pure hygiene theater trolls some & attempts at mitigating covid's spread trolls others.

        I know of no spray that is as effective as masks and good ventilation in diminishing airborne viruses.

        Would be curious to see the increase of asthma related to exposure to quaternary ammonia.

        Seriously would not want anyone in a room where they're spraying that.

        Typically dispersed via pump sprayer or aerosol mister. Used widely in healthcare and commercial cleaning activities.
