    Though it is just a detector, not a purifier. So all it really does tell you that someone in the room has Covid.

    Do we all just do the Spiderman pointing meme when the detector goes off?

      Still when it detects something it can make other ventilation or filters go to high. When the room is safe run the fans low power and noise. When there is something screw that.

      Or we have a waiting room in dentists/doctors offices, etc with these devices?

        Depends on how many people are in the waiting room, I suppose. I’ve been in a doctor’s waiting room with 30 people before.
