I travelled a couple of times on Flixbus and had an aweful experience with the air quality. I had to complain all times about a lack of air ventiallation

New Transcriptomic Clock Unveils T Cell Aging in COVID,HIV "Patients with acute COVID, they found two clear effects. First, COVID altered T cell composition, including significant reductions in naïve CD8 and naïve CD4 T cells. Second, the infection increased the biological age of naïve CD8 T cells"

Wow, that's wild. I had no idea this kind of bus had such poor ventilation. Makes me wonder how being in an elevatot compares?

The Dutch Olympic team is taking several precautions: "We're not shaking hands anymore, but we're giving fist bumps," says Verheijen. "We're wearing face masks in crowded areas and making sure we wash and disinfect our hands thoroughly." This decision was made to minimize the risk of illness.

The new 'highly transmissible' COVID-19 variant: what Aussies need to know NB.1.8.1, an Omicron sub-lineage, is now widespread across Australia. It is highly transmissible, spreads faster than earlier Omicron variants, has a shorter incubation period, and causes a sharp, stabbing sore throat early.

Looking for a particular location on map.airspothealth.com? If for example you want to find the retail settings with CO2 under 800ppm, it is easy to filter and find locations near you. To learn more about our CO2 Map, go to the AirSpot Map heading at airspothealth.com

“…terms like “coronavirus” and “COVID‑19” were added to keyword blocklists by advertisers and platforms, which caused publishers reporting on the pandemic to lose revenue or see their content filtered out of programmatic ad placements….certain public health‑oriented stories lost visibility.”

Can confirm. Yes, 3000ppm CO2 is common on Transport for NSW buses, even off peak. It's absolutely vile, incredibly dangerous, and in criminal breach of duties under the WH&S Act (NSW) 2011. Almost like they're designed to maim and kill. Never go near them without a fitted respirator.

If we survive this, I'll be changed by the fact that I can no longer not know that at any given time, ⅓ of the people are gleeful at the prospect of those they despise getting hurt or killed, and ⅓ of the people are apathetic as long as they personally aren't inconvenienced by the hurting, and your

CO2 below 1000ppm all day despite using public transport (train) and working in a healthcare facility for much of the day. N95s worn indoors except for at home where we have HEPA filters running in every room. Why? #COVIDisNotOver & #COVIDisAirborne

I'm in Brunswick, Melbourne and the smell of smoke is quite noticeable. Very thankful for my air purifier. This is the first time I've seen it alarm like this

The red line reflects what the COVID Conscious Community know is going on. The green shaded area reflects what other people want to believe is happening. Do they really believe that though 🤔

COVID safe on the tram. Tram windows wide open also ❤️

I worked at a healthcare facility last July - I told them I wouldn't go back as the ventilation was so poor (the dip was me going outside for a break). So they've increased the fresh air intake, put 2 HEPA filters in the rooms and the staff are wearing N95s We'll get there 😷👍

Is it okay to add Airanet data to the map? I don't have an AirSpot.

A healthy 31-year-old woman developed sinus pressure, headache, and blurry vision 10 days after COVID-19 infection. The case adds evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger immune-mediated optic neuritis and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to preserve vision.

I don't think I'll ever get over the moral injury of seeing cancer patients, their carers and almost all their health care professionals walking around with no masks.
