Here’s the thing— Putting on a well-fitted respirator mask gives you a barrier that helps prevent you from straight up inhaling raw germs and pollutants in the air and exhaling whatever germs you’re carrying directly into the air. Washing hands helps removes whatever grody junk you might’ve touched and whatever grossness has landed on your skin. Getting vaccinated potentially eases the impact of the infectious dose of the virus on your body. Everyone keeps getting the order of these wrong.
RE: Look, I’m just saying there are KN95s in some nice colours now. The gift giving season is here-ish. Give some folks a packet of masks in their favourite colour. View quoted note →
Another thing coming up short in my search for resources is a guide for small businesses to pivot to Covid-safer practices. I’ve collected a bunch of lovely guides for Covid-safer event planning, a couple covering Covid-safer travel, and a lot of nicely detailed how-to guides and worksheets for getting through an infection. Nothing much about fitting air purifiers and CO2 monitors, encouraging respirator use, or how-to guides for budgeting for those costs.
“Wear a mask if you can’t get the vaccine” indicates that the magic goop alone sufficient in protecting against viral spread and we have learned in the last four years that it goddamn well is not.
Hear me out — every classroom gets a box fan. At the start of every year/semester the classrooms get fresh filters and supplies and the homeroom class or whatever get to decorate it. Make the CR box their classroom mascot. Get them emotionally invested in making sure their mascot is plugged in and running and eating up the toxins in the air. All the CR boxes are entered into a virtual pageant/contest to choose best/creative/most something-or-other. Kids get fun rewards. Hooray. Yeah?
Everybody's watching the baseball to see if we're going to war tomorrow
