“Isn’t the pandemic over?” “Aren’t you done with masks yet?” “But you’re not high-risk!” This Q&A provides evidence-based responses to these and other common objections, offering insight into why we still mask, filter the air and open windows—knowledge we’ve gained and continue to put into practice

A great initiative in Cologne, Germany: a local group is running a special indoor CO₂ event for people who care about clean air and preventing infections. They’ll measure air quality in shops—no device needed, just a good mask and curiosity. Small reward included! Know of similar efforts elsewhere?

The July edition is out!

Very beautiful to see when a single person covers a whole area with entries for their community on covidmeetups.com. Even if places only offer curbside pickup, checking that box is helpful information. Thanks to everyone contributing to the business directory!🥰

All items in the WHN ticker are clickable! Special thanks to the amazing @ancirabecky.bsky.social for helping curate the news!

We are estimating new infections based on wastewater data at whn.global/estimation-o... for the US and Germany. @michael-hoerger.bsky.social is using a similar method, check out his PMC COVID Dashboard!

True role models here at the French National Assembly. Have a look at the whole thread.

It is always a privilege to help with the copy editing of our Kids' Zone Magazine issues. The latest one for July should be in review tomorrow and hopefully out soon after! If you haven't yet, check out the June issue: whn.global/kidszone/

Dr. Nancy Malek @n95anaesthetist.bsky.social is an amazing science communicator. Check out her WHN blogpost whn.global/why-i-still-... and her latest YouTube video:

Clean indoor air is a shared goal. Many of us—across organizations, initiatives, and advocacy groups—are working to make it real. We may differ on timelines or tactics, but let’s not lose sight of where we want to go. Which groups do you see pushing in the same direction?

We have recurring daily calls to share, connect and talk about anything that comes to our minds, one at 5pm ET, and a new one at 10am ET! The evening call today included a stimulating discussion about the future of wars. Join us in WHN Slack's #1-general-dailycall channel whn.global/whn-slack-wo...

3:10pm ET on Fridays is the WHN platforms meeting. Just get on the WHN slack and check it out in the #platforms channel. One question that is on our mind these days is whether the community might want a name change for covidmeetups.com - we may send a survey around soon!

If you have a CO2-measuring device, please contribute to this project by @aurel.indoorco2map.com. The German map looks already pretty awesome, but more international data is needed! indoorco2map.com

Just heard about this in our weekly German call (Fridays, 2pm ET, 8pm German time, on the WHN Discord): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... From @virusesimmunity.bsky.social
