Why are we opening windows when it is so cold?

 The 1912 TB epidemic threatened to close schools because TB causes pneumonia. Open air schools were created in New York to stop the spread of infectious disease.  According to the BCCDC school guidance, the same methods work against covid 19. An open window can dilute the virus, keeping us all safe.  Take a look back in time: there were pupils dressed just like you! in winter clothes in their school classroom!   Pictures from this NYT article on how to beat a pandemic with fresh air!
