I really love seeing #CleanAirClub expand from focusing on infection control measures like masks and air filters, to also centering solidarity with people with long covid and ME/CFS. Connecting the dots.

This list of 50+ ways to show up for people with long covid and me/cfs is very good, despite being on Instagram:

Clean Air Club on Instagram: "Attention abled people: it's time to step up and support our loved ones and comrades who have Long Covid and ME/CFS!! There are over 400 million people living with Long Covid today, and many millions more living with ME/CFS. These are debilitating, energy-limited conditions that can make basic life functions extremely grueling. It's everyone's responsibility to make sure people with these disabilities are not left behind. PLEASE go through this list and pick one or two things that you can do on a recurring basis, then ask a friend or acquaintance with Long Covid and/or ME/CFS whether they would appreciate any of that help. The more specific, the better. You can also work in the other direction, sending this post to them and asking whether anything in particular would be most helpful! And to the folks with Long Covid and ME/CFS: what would you add to this list? We'd love to hear more ideas in the comments. It takes a village. Sending so much love to everyone dealing with these difficult disabilities. Thank you to @kd_kinetic and @coolgruel for providing feedback on this list! IDs in comments due to length."

If in the USA, it drops the price by ~$100.

"For those deciding between Metrix and Pluslife, the Pluslife becomes way cheaper *per test* after the 10th test.

The upfront cost sucks, but after 10 you're working towards getting a per test cost of ~$8 (same as a rapid test!)"

For those deciding between Metrix and Pluslife, the Pluslife becomes way cheaper *per test* after the 10th test. The upfront cost sucks, but after 10 you're working towards getting a per test cost of ~$8 (same as a rapid test!) Highly recommend going in on it with friends!

COVID at-home molecular testing:

"Regular rapid tests don't produce reliable negative results. Luckily, there are at-home molecular tests that have an accuracy approaching what you get from PCR tests, the gold-standard in viral detection!"

We got a Pluslife Minidock: "...98.3% test sensitivity -- meaning if it shows a negative result, you can rely pretty heavily on that."

Clean Air Club on Instagram: "โœ”๏ธ One good way to figure out what to do in response to whatever crisis is happening at the time is to make a list of all your skills.

Why had it never occurred to me that #PublicLibraries would be great organizations to run #CleanAirClub style lending programs for air quality gear? This is a cool resource about how libraries can set up lending for CO2 monitors:

"Clean Air Club Is Organizing Musicians to Make COVID-Safer Shows and Spaces"

"Clean Air Club is a volunteer organization that provides free air purifiers to Chicago artists and touring musicians, so their shows are safer for the artists, audiences, and staff at the venues. The organization was launched in Chicago, but Clean Air Club and its offshoots now provide air purifiers and far-UVC lights to artists & venues in other cities."

Charging my NUKIT Torch portable UV lights and my Respiray Wearable HEPA filter for work tomorrow!

UV lights and HEPA filters both remove viral particles like #COVID19 from the air.

I use these in combination with my #FloMask or my #EnvoPro respirator, my large wall-plug HEPA filter, #Nasitrol nasal spray, #Lumify eye drops, and #HoneyBLIS probiotics!
