Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

I've got #covid again, for the third time.
Shame that my individual act of masking every single time I use public transit or enter a store isn't enough to protect me.
Almost like #publichealth policy can't be based on individual risk assessment.
Stay safe out there, y'all.

Seems like huge news: "Nasal COVID-19 vaccine halts transmission"
Study in hamsters indicates vaccines targeting nose, mouth may be key to controlling spread of respiratory infections
Someone I know who is chronically ill recently contracted #covid because a healthy person she trusted didn't tell her about being at an indoor event.
They both got COVID. The healthy person bounced back. My chronically ill friend? Now sicker than she ever was and no way to know if her downturn is long term or permanent.
That's what it's like now. If you're already chronically ill the world is a dangerous place and healthy people generally DGAF.
Falls jemand diesen Beitrag eines seit seiner #covid Infektion schwer an #mecfs erkrankten Journalisten (Tim Braune) von vor einigen Wochen nicht mitbekommen hat, ich finde dass auch sein Beitrag zu dem Thema sehr deutlich und wichtig ist:

Any #blind people have one of these? Are they accessible. The page says there’s a bluetooth module. Does that mean they have an app where you can get your results accessibly? How is the accessibility of the test kit itself, in terms of a blind person being able to use it without too much difficulty?

Do take the time to read this brilliant piece.
It contains excellent explanations on the spread of COVID mutations/variants, why vaccination alone isn't the answer, why we should continue to mask and negative communications.

Does the public understand that "variant" means "vaccine resistant"?
Getting boosted is critical because the virus is changing. Other forms of mitigation are critical to slow the rate of change.Julia Doubleday (The Gauntlet)
a friend and I were talking about COVID precautions and they just sent me this paper which appears to raise concerns about safety and efficacy of wearing masks for COVID - does anyone here know anything about this paper + what conclusions should be drawn from it? I feel like there's probably *something* wrong with it given it very much is the consensus in communities I'm in (that seem to pay lots of attention to the literature) that wearing masks is a good precaution to take against COVID, but I'm not sure how to respond. is there a good analysis of the paper somewhere or anything like that?

Possible toxicity of chronic carbon dioxide exposure associated with face mask use, particularly in pregnant women, children and adolescents – A scoping review
During the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic, face masks have become one of the most important ubiquitous factors affecting human breathing. It increases the resistance and dead space volume leading to a re-breathing of CO[2] .PubMed Central (PMC)
Addressing indoor air quality saves lives and helps us achieve at work, in school, and in self-governance.
Brain function declines by 15% as CO2 levels hit 945ppm, and by 50% at 1400ppm.
Have you ever measured CO2 at your desk or a contentious City Council meeting? What you find might surprise you!
These scientists recommend mandating clean air in public buildings, with 800ppm as the upper limit. That's good policy: science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc…

Funny. Every time I go through an airport, I’m struck by all the bullshit we have to do because 3000 people died more than 2 decades ago. However, we won’t accept any inconvenience for something that has killed more than a million Americans.

For 3 consecutive years, #COVID-19 has been the top cause of death in the line of duty for police officers. But the NYPD wants to criminalize wearing a mask anyway.

Certain groups are pulling out of developing #COVID vaccines now that the "COVID opportunity" is "receding".
They are abandoning everything they promised. They aren't updating vaccines, they've stopped working on new vaccine development, they won't pay for testing & monitoring.
Businesses promised hybrid then forced everyone back full time. Businesses promised remote then forced hybrid. They're trying to force recession to take back power.
We need to unionize everything.
Excess mortality for the third consecutive year in 2022

Elites at the World Economic Forum are doing everything they can to protect themselves from #COVID, because the ruling class know the pandemic is not over.
Meanwhile, they are pushing the rest of us back into unsafe workplaces to protect their profits. This is class warfare.
This is a really great guide to help you prepare in advance for the possibility of having covid, and remind you what to do if the worst happens! I've never seen this kind of info all collated together like this before.
Really valuable resource! (especially if like me you have trouble remembering or making plans etc!)

Could reporters stop both-siding COVID and focus on why political leaders are failing us? Politicians aren’t reinstating mandates because masks remind us we are in a pandemic, and they are afraid that people will consume less if they see more people wearing masks. They are prioritizing corporate profits over public health.
