Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come

Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

Imagine being the CEO of a company that solely exists, & attracts investment, because a critical mass of people abandoned your competitor over bigotry. Now imagine crashing out publicly & asserting your userbase has no value to you because you don't want to eject a specific & named bigot.

I think I found a photo of Bill Burr at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

"I was wrong, y'know... I mean ah... I shouldn't've gone... y'know... it was wrong... and uh... I shoulda known that... y'know... look, I'm sowwy, alright!? I'm sowwy."

Leaves town in private jet.

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: “They’re Just Like Us” The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

All respect I had for Bill Burr and my countryman Jim Jefferies: gone.

YouTube video by SWFT Andor: Mon Mothma's Speech

"The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss."

Thinking about this speech today - and this edit.

I have been masking for 5+ years.
I have been gaslit, and many others too

We are mitigating against current and future harms. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF HARM.
Society depends on people who care about others because thats how it functions.
Not just others, care about you too.
Reduce illness
Reduce sars2

I have two: an old Dot and a slightly younger display one (I forget the name). 99.8% of the time they are over-priced verbally operated switches. The other .2% they are music speakers.

If I could find a decent open source replacement I'd dump them.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I suspect Hegseth's big speech to the brass is testing the waters to unearth those "loyal" and those not. Any who even breath words contrary to the administration will be relieved of their position.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Can't have something that might be recorded.

How many of these officers are going to be "relieved of duty" after this meeting?

Any one of these highly educated and motivated people who expresses any misgivings about the event or the current administration will be fired. Just watch.

I still have my Star Trek TCG cards...

Eliminate the phrase “just a bug” from your lexicon. Stop diminishing illness. Colds can kill. The fact that they don’t frequently is lucky for us.

We are learning so much more about disease and more and more we are finding you don’t even have to have had a bad case to activate postviral stuff.

I had hoped COVID would increase awareness of postviral illness, but instead just about everyone went into denial and now we’re just straight up disabling kids with our insistence that there’s no pandemic in Ba Sing Se.

Thank you for saying this I was composing a reply to say much the same but decided I wasn't going to waste any more effort.

This smells of whataboutism and distraction...

Here, I'll help you.

More kids are severely ill or dying from the flu, CDC reports As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising. Last season, the U.S. experienced the highest number of pediatric flu deaths in 15 years.

"I haven't seen it, so it must not happen."

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Today he says that. Tomorrow he’ll be schmoozed and offered cash by the other side and he’ll talk about building a hotel there again. He spouts crap about whatever is in front of him.

Government is planning hardship for older Australians living at home Aged care has again been in the media for all the wrong reasons. Two failures are attracting particular attention.

"If the govt is serious about enabling people to age in place, home care must be made affordable, equitable and accessible. No older person in Australia should be forced to choose between a meal and a shower."

Most people fail to understand that their bodies are being irreparably damaged by repeated infections of Covid-19.

Most people fail to comprehend that the human community cannot survive under perpetual conditions of unrestrained contagion, mass illness, and excess mortality.
