So far, I've collected these masks to take to a shelter for unhoused people in Harrisonburg, VA. (Thank you!) I plan to take these over there this week, so please contribute in the next day or two if you plan to help out! Thanks!! (If you don't want to buy from Amazon, see the 2nd option)

Thank you to those of you helping purchase masks for a local shelter! Unhoused people don't need more to worry about as COVID starts to surge again. (I had to reschedule a meeting with a university I work with because a bunch of people were out with COVID 🫠) Let's help protect people in need!

All about ventilation. Shared air is how airborne viruses are transmitted.

This is important. We need solutions like filtration and ventilation to clean indoor air for everyone, but the mass denial prevents action.

"That extra CO2 acted like a buffer keeping the particles closer to a neutral pH, where respiratory viruses are quite content." Wow, yet another reason to improve ventilation!

If anyone wants help finding scientific papers/articles related to anything stated in this interview, let me know.
Also see the part near the end about ventilation and filtration in schools. That's why I started this account, I think there's still hope there.

Despite “FLiRT” variants, this may be the first covid wave with little federal pressure to limit transmission or data to even declare a surge.

The article warns a bird flu pandemic has the potential to be “100 times worse than COVID” and while I will admit this frightens me what scares me more is knowing most people think the current pandemic poses zero risk so I fear “100 times” zero is the calculation most will make.

Here are a few ways to help: follow the hashtag across social media, amplify patient stories, donate to fundraisers, tell Congress to invest in treatment & prevention, & break chains of transmission in your community—bc the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid!

Doing this without having mandated cleaner air in schools and public spaces and masks in healthcare settings is irresponsible. It only affects those who want to be responsible & isolate when they test positive, because now they can't point to CDC guidance as a reason to stay home from work/school.

RESULT: Democrats secure a majority in Pennsylvania's state House. The AP has just called the HD140 special election (in Bucks County) for Dem Jim Prokopiak. This means Dems defend the vacant seat; the House will be 102-100 Democratic, with one vacancy (a Republican just resigned days ago).

Australia: Vaccination, testing, clean air: COVID hasn’t gone away – here’s where Australia needs to do better. In Australia, more than 50,000 infections have been reported so far in 2024. And this is likely to be a significant underestimate, as we are testing much less than we used to.
