Lessons from the view of the occupational and environmental medicine physician.
These notes are intended to generate innovative thought and support practical solutions to a dreadful situation in which we currently find ourselves; the need to avoid invisible clouds containing Covid-10 virus as winter comes and we head indoors.  

  

We need to think carefully how the hard work and knowledge of mechanical engineering which has been amassed over the past 50 years can be brought to bear in a cost-effective manner to help us find our way to reduce covid virus transmission.
