i still spend about 90% less time in indoor public spaces than i did pre-2020.

which i don’t like, at all. i don’t work in coworking spaces and cafés anymore, i mostly restrict eating out to eating outside, etc.

i feel much more isolated and stuck at home than i used to. i want everywhere to verifiably provide to very good ventilation. i think of close indoor air now like untreated sewage.

@interfluidity I hear ya. I bet you sort of think it always was to some degree, eh? I sort of like not having four colds a year.
@GerardMacDonell I definitely bristle at colds more, after spending much of the pandemic entirely free of them. But with a kid indoors at school every day, we've not been able to avoid them entirely.
@interfluidity I’ve tracked CO2 with an Aranet4 for about a year and it’s illuminating (https://aranet.com/products/aranet4/). Bought one of these Far-UV lights to carry around for, say, Thanksgiving dinner with family (https://www.ergo-healthtech.com/xone) — hard to prove that it works but doing my best to avoid this thing. Haven’t eaten at an indoor restaurant, haven’t seen live music, it sucks.
