The great thing about living in a country where air conditioning is mostly non-existent, is that when the weather is nice enough they will just open up all the windows and doors.
Today kid2 and a friend went to an indoor playground thing. It is in an old warehouse. The doors for loading the warehouse were open (2 sets of doors), the skylights were open... there was natural ventilation. Where the CO2 spiked above 800ppm: the toilets.
Our respirators stayed on. Drinks were had right next to the open doors.

To be quite honest: I would just like to buy the 3D printer files and not have stuff shipped to me across an ocean.

Advocacy opportunity 📣 BC's Finance committee is now accepting written feedback on what to include in BC's 2027 budget. This is a critical chance to tell policy-makers to support clean air, Long COVID care, testing, wastewater monitoring and more.

Learn how to submit your written feedback at https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2027-budget.../ - and find some sample answers you can use to make it easier! In past years, budget feedback has resulted in some notable successes - including a 2024 commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding.

This year's feedback deadline is 2 pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, June 19. Note that if you're already scheduled to present directly to the finance committee, you do *not* need to do a written submission as well.

I should probably post more about COVID; it seems to get me on block lists that I'm perfectly happy to be on. #novid #maskup #covidisairborne #cleantheair #openafuckingwindow

Hantavirus outbreak should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk

> Hantavirus is a pathogen with documented person-to-person transmission and high case fatality. Therefore, the starting point should not be to downplay the risk of airborne transmission until it is definitively proven.

Hantavirus outbreak should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk

The multinational outbreak of Andes hantavirus (ANDV) linked to cruise ship travel should prompt the World Health Organization (WHO) to change its default response to the risk of airborne transmission of the virus. Hantavirus is a pathogen with documented person-to-person transmission and high case fatality. Therefore, the starting point should not be to downplay the risk of airborne transmission until it is definitively proven. The starting point should be the immediate adoption of precautionary measures to reduce airborne transmission, such as respirator use by healthcare workers, cases, and close contacts; ventilation optimisation; avoidance of unfiltered air recirculation; and portable HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filtration in all enclosed quarantine and transport settings. On 8 May 2026, WHO issued several documents that point in different directions. A Disease Outbreak News report acknowledged possible person-to-person transmission, but largely framed precautions around droplet and contact transmission outside aerosol generating procedures.1 By contrast, WHO’s guidance for managing contacts of Andes virus cases and disembarkation from the cruise ship adopted much more precautionary measures, including quarantine, universal respirator use during disembarkation, respirators for healthcare workers …

Since there's a bunch of ignorance being thrown around, TeamSports™-style:

Nukit and the CyberNightMarket are indeed legit entities. They've done as much as anyone in the clean air space in recent years and more than most. The Tempest design is based on this open source project and has been available for years: https://github.com/opennukit/Nukit-Open-Air-Purifier

The PC fan design for air cleaners was a collaborative effort that many people iterated on starting in like 2021/22. There are several legit entities developing and selling their own versions of it. No one selling it came up with it themselves.

GitHub - opennukit/Nukit-Open-Air-Purifier: Nukit Open Air Purifiers are Open Hardware devices for improving indoor air quality. They are designed to be used with North American standard HVAC filters and PC fans. They are often an improvement over commercial air purifiers as they are quieter per m3 CADR delivered, have a lower cost of ownership per year, and are easily repairable.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy I see it in every hospital in Victoria, BC & yet majority of staff aren't masked. I'm one of very few people in health care services, who have to see clients in all 3 of the hospitals here, who never stopped masking up. Cleaner air systems haven't been installed to increase public health safety in hospitals either. Our health care system will collapse - physically & financially - if provincial & federal governments keep ignoring covid & the many dire, costly, medical consequences it brings.

the NEXT fan-club skillshare will be on Friday April 17, from 3-5ish PM EST. this will be a slightly different format than previous skillshares; more of a casual space to drop in, ask questions, and chat about covid mitigations for events and gatherings.

there will be 2 focus-topics for the drop-in that I'll be prepared to sort of present, but feel free to come with any questions or ideas as there will be time to chat freely! (this is a REMOTE event)

sign up for this or to find out about future skillshares at http://fan-club.neocities.org/skillshares

Advocacy opportunity 📣 The Metro Vancouver region has a survey seeking input on their 2027 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan.

Metro Vancouver deals with things like wastewater, air quality, regional planning, providing below-market rental housing and more. (Note that they don’t just serve Vancouver - they serve many municipalities, which are listed in the survey.)

Take the survey until March 27, and be sure to let them know that you care about:

- wastewater testing / monitoring for communicable diseases
- air quality improvements, including indoor air quality and aligning building codes with up-to-date air quality standards like ASHRAE 241!

Take the survey: https://engage.zencity.io/metrovancouver/en/engagements/f9f277fa-e5da-4654-8df3-faa38cc4d4bf
