OK, this version mentions how the air is replaced every 2-3 minutes and the bacteria and viruses are filtered out. A crucial point The Mirror story neglects to mention.
And still, there's no obvious reason for leaving the vent on, so the air blows at you.

Now why on earth would a guttersucking trash rag like the Mirror take away the scaremongering aspect of its story?
It's like all other press stories - inflict fear and paranoia, bury the sensible part in the last paragraph, if you can be bothered putting it in. I have learnt to apply maths and science to these kinds of bullshit fearmongering articles. A particular one was how chocolate will kill your dog. The compound harmful to dogs in chocolate is actually so small that you would have to feed it at least 200g for it to start having any effect. A normal slab of chocolate is about 100g. Are you really going to make your chocolate eat 200g of chocolate? And not only that, they would have to digest the lot for the compound to really set in and most dogs would actually get sick form the sugar consumption way before that.
Medical scares - "a 50% increase in the chance of death". The chance of death was 0.1%, so now your chance of death is 0.15%, etc.
