Joe's 100-Billion Promise

 I sat and watched the Joe Biden 'townhall' from yesterday.  In the midst of this....he got onto some tirade about Covid-19 and schools, saying he wanted to spend 100-billion dollars on adequate ventilation for schools.

I sat and paused over the comment.

Being from Alabama (1970s era), ventilation (or the lack of ventilation) is a familiar topic.

Ventilating usually meant that you had a rotating fan that seemed to have the pitch or hum of a diesel dump truck.  

Ventilating usually meant that around nine AM, with the healthy diet of bacon/sausage or eggs....a gaseous 'fume' would be pushed around the entire room, and the teacher sat in agony. 

Ventilating usually meant that you pushed 95-degree air around the room....to every corner.

How would this Covid-ventilator work?  A 100-billion involved?  Some engineer is probably at work....building a fairly fake ventilator and filter system, and swearing that it'll remove 98-percent of the Covid virus from the air, but failing to mention that the filter has to be changed daily, and it cost $29 for each single filter (made in China of course). 

For some reason, I just don't see this promise going anywhere.
