Suddenly everyone is singing the praises of fresh air. It took COVID-19 to remind us. Florence Nightingale knew about its germ-killing properties – she insisted wards were filled with a veritable blizzard of fresh air. In her wake, generations of nurses would wheel TB patients into the sun, while parents would treat babies to what was called a “sun-bath”.
Even outside the hospital or the nursery, many believed in sleeping next to an open window, whatever the temperature, the curtains billowing, their sleeping companions shivering.
Fresh air is king and dogs are enjoying better mental health in lockdown.

NEW ALBANY, Ohio A nationally known candle company is ramping up for this summer’s peak production season, and is looking to fill over 400 positions at its New Albany facility.
While many businesses took a hit during the pandemic, Alene Candles saw an increase in demand with stay-at-home orders in effect.
“With more people working from home, we produced more candles over the course of last year than we did in all of 2019,” said Rodney Harl, the manufacturer’s president and CEO. “We are projected to carry this momentum through the summer and upcoming holiday season, requiring significant growth for our team.”
