Advocacy opportunity ๐Ÿ“ฃ 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 donโ€™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!

2027 Budget Engagement - Phase 1

irregular reminder to clean the dust screen on your air purifiers.

I also like to take the filters outside and knock some of the dirt in them out.

La pregunta es, ยฟya resolvieron eso o todavรญa se lo estรกn pensando? Se requiere gente con visiรณn.

Classroom air quality a 'national scandal' says BESA

BESA has described the state of indoor air quality in UK classrooms as โ€œscandalousโ€ & a direct threat to the health & well-being of children and teachers.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an airborne-transmission-informed #publichealth body, let alone one that knows how to communicate...?!?

"An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others."

Please, especially in #LdnOnt, wear a mask in public! #COVID19 is not gone and not "mild". ๐Ÿ˜ท #RSV on the rise, too...

RE: https://social.lol/@brennan/115923532149362303

"It is not simply a matter of opinion whether COVID-19 is an issue still or not. It is not an opinion whether masking is a good idea still or not. There is an ethical, moral answer here, and there is an unethical, immoral alternative which the majority of us are consistently choosing, whether deliberately or not."

Excellent article summarizing the dangers of ignoring #COVID19 risks.

Looks like the link for the NSW Parliament inquiry into indoor air quality got truncated; it's https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/inquiries/Pages/inquiry-details.aspx?pk=3152
