Got my Covid shot this morning
I finally got an air filter for travel. Between the portability and multivoltage requirements, I decided to go with the AirFanta 3 Pro. I learned a lot about air filters with help from @CovidSafeFurs and this one fits all my needs: it does DC in, it can collapse to fit in a suitcase (takes up maybe half of one of those overhead bin hardshells), it's super easy to assemble with no tools, and it should be able to easily hit 6-12 ACH in a typical 300-500 sq ft hotel room. Also, it uses a single knob and no silly screens or wifi gubbins. Tempted to paint the upper and lower plastic pieces bright orange because fanta lol

Today In Labor History April 7, 2020: Folk music legend, John Prine, died of Covid.
Huge cuts at NIOSH mean that those who reply on respirators to keep themselves safe will have less protection. This impacts firefighters, miners, healthcare workers and all manner of industries.
It’s also devastating to the disability community.
“You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection.
Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection.
Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.

People refer to Covid in the past tense because they WANT it to be over… not because it actually IS over.
We’ve all suffered a collective trauma, and most people are refusing to process or deal with it.
A few key points people are determined to “forget”:
“During Covid” is now.
“During the pandemic” is now.
Covid is not over.
Covid IS airborne.
Masks, especially well fitted N95s, offer excellent protection
Anyone can get Long Covid, and your risk increases with each infection.
Even if your initial infection was “mild”, you could have long term damage to your vascular system, immune system, lungs and brain.
Repeat infections are NOT inevitable.
We CAN beat the pandemic together. But it involves collective effort. It involves acknowledging we’re still in a pandemic and “you do you” isn’t working. It involves caring about the air we share, and being willing to adapt.
Let’s make 2025 the year we can actually begin putting Covid in the past!

I will add that this exchange came AFTER I asked the host if everyone could take rapid covid tests beforehand.
Tbh, I feel like she allowed me one and only one accommodation. She already granted me the covid accommodation, so how dare I ask for another.

are there any "still coviding" type groups (or even a Discord) in or near Durham, NC? i know of covidmeetups.com, and am wondering about resources beyond that.
I’m so curious about what causes this way of thinking. This person is suffering because they’ve had Covid twice, they currently work from home, and they’re considering just never seeing people in person ever again so they don’t get reinfected.
Then in the comments they admit they never wear a mask. So rather than wear a mask when they socialize they think they need to go full hermit, and it’s distressing enough to them that they’re going to reddit to ask about it. Yet they’ve never considered just wearing a mask.
What kind of mental illness is this??

Gerade guckte mich jemand länger an, vielleicht der Maske wegen.
Sollte mal jemand fragen, werde ich raunen "Ich weiß Dinge, die Sie nicht wissen".
Das ist die reine Wahrheit. Ich weiß, dass Hamburg nicht die Hauptstadt von McDonalds ist und Kühe das Gras nicht rauchen, sondern fressen. Ich weiß, wann Paul Higgins Geburtstag hat und wie seine Töchter heißen. Ich weiß zwei Dinge übers Pferd, von denen eins sich nicht gehört.
