F.D Signifier and guest, Lola Germs, make it clear that #COVID isn’t over and that our efforts are needed to help protect vulnerable members of our community. Not just through masking but through advocacy and pressuring our local institutions. https://youtu.be/v1nS_-ra8xE
Any #StillMasking #Covid #CovidIsNotOver .au folks have experience with Ausair Airflex masks? On the positive side, they're claiming kn95 certification, on the down side, they're on half price sale, which is worrying insofar as it suggests they might have wound down production, and maybe the filters will cease availability.
Need something a bit more convenient / quick doffable for outdoors / crowds than my 3M Auras.
Area wastewater Sars-CoV-2 PPMoV reading has dropped from a 'very-high' two-month post-holiday surge to land at what's the 'mere' year-round *new-normal / as-good-as-it's-gonna-get [😒/🤷]* '[just] high' (or close enough) of 160.1—I'm dropping from N95 to KN95, baby!
Reading a post about how Jesse Jackson publicly hugged people with AIDS, around the time I was 12—at a time they were treated with fear and contempt; at the height of my worrying about catching it myself in being sexually abused—while the first line concerning nuclear war in Pink Floyd's 'Mother' kicks in over my earbuds, and I think to myself how our now is honestly more unsettling to me than that from three-quarters of my lifetime ago.
@augieray same here. Maybe we need a virtual doctors office that other maskers can ‘wait in’ while at the real office to not feel alone?
On the plus side, my Aranet is showing 531ppm CO2. So that’s good!
This is a great instance for a number of reasons!
One of the things that I really like - which others may find odd - is that sometimes when I am about to log on, nothing is trending. The page is empty except for the words, "Nothing is trending at the moment."
Another is that moderator(s) are conscientious enough to send a warning occasionally about a new follower that might be a little shady.
It is a great little instance! Happy to be welcomed here!
Why ask the question if you know you don’t want to hear the answer? Can we not simply agree to disagree?
