With health agencies collapsing, it's never been more important for all of us to play active roles in protecting each other's health.

A couple of easy things you can do:
1️⃣ Wear a well-fitting mask and distribute them to others
2️⃣ Spread word about updated vaccines and help others make appointments

Sadly it's another example of Sam Vimes’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory).

Not only does it benefit the grid, in the “long" term it benefits the householder too (net ROI usually takes 5+ years).

Solar by itself won't protect against grid outage though — you need batteries as well.
