nah, in fact someone went so far as to do some extensive testing to show even if you tried to overload the fan it still wouldnt be a fire-hazard.

you can do that [single filter corsi] just fine but they find that the more surface area there is for filtration the more cfm the entire unit can process

edit;
using the page snipe for more corsi box reading:
https://www.texairfilters.com/how-a-merv-13-air-filter-and-a-box-fan-can-help-fight-covid-19/
-the og corsi box design--a boxfan & filter; author experiments with wider and wider filters to show air movemement increases with surface area

https://www.texairfilters.com/a-variation-on-the-box-fan-with-merv-13-filter-air-cleaner/
-this link shows the full corsi-cube
-merv13 filters are often sold in box-quantites only, so with that in mind i built 2 boxes for ~$145 usd in filters. the fans (~$20/ea) & duct-tape (~$10) mean that each box was ~$90.

Saagar (Breaking Points, formerly The Rising) has COVID and mentioned this morning that (roughly) "Delta is very infectious and I could have gotten it anywhere" and since he was vaccinated that definitely helped him have a mild case so he "didn't seek medical care to not overburden the system" and then uses those correct points to continue wanting schools to open.

Like I know he's a moron but it's amazing to see people list all the reasons that kids shouldn't be in school: highly infectious, no vaccine, overburdened already medical system == open schools? loving wild.

In computer building parlance, box fans are not pressure-optimized to force air through the filters, so you make a box so that there's more room for the air to go through, which makes it easier for the fan to push the air.

It's not gonna kill the fan or anything, it's just that trying to put a filter in front of a fan and calling it good won't filter/move as much air.

Pretty much yeah, the theory of operation is that you're compensating for less ability to filter out fine particles by drastically increasing how much it can cycle through the air in a given time. Higher filtration capability (e.g. MERV 13 instead of MERV 8) is also going to increase intake resistance all else equal. Some people worry about the increased load on the fan wearing it out faster but IMO this isn't likely to be an issue. Motors are pretty tough as long as you don't overheat them and fans have the advantage of being more or less self cooling. I did the 4 filters and run on low speed and it's still fairly loud, but I think you could use a single filter and run it on high. It's just loud AF.

My sats have gone up, I’m at 98% so that’s great. I do have increased shortness of breath though so one step forward, one back. Despite my efforts to isolate from my family, my youngest has COVID now too, he is doing ok other than a cough and headache but we’re chilling together and having some bonding time. Everyone else in the family is vaccinated and asymptomatic so here’s hoping that they stay that way.

Hospital update: We saw a decrease in volumes just before school started but now things are going back up. This wave has plenty of gas left in the tank I think.
