Description

Ladies and Gentlethems, the show you’ve all been waiting for, the show that will keep you glued to your seat! A show all about preventing diseases and pathogens and, sometimes, things that go bump in the night. 

Join Daniella on a journey through the belly of an old vaudeville venue, the Orpheum Theatre, in Vancouver, Canada, to learn a bit about how it keeps pathogens in the air at bay. We've known that fresh air is good for us for a very long time but it doesn't always translate to the air we breathe indoors. We also meet a savvy Twitter/X user who measured the carbon dioxide levels in the theatre and, to the surprise of many, revealed that the Orpheum had excellent ventilation. How does a building so old get such good numbers? And what could it mean for disease control in other places?
