An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Times article has an incredible illustration

Yet more evidence that mandated clean air in schools is needed to combat predictable, recurring waves of within-school illness spread. In New Zealand, individual school BoTs are not equipped or prepared to take this necessary step. It must be mandated and funded by govt. #nzpol @greens.org.nz

I am not cut out for DIY just drilling 3 holes and trying to get the screws in took 2.5hr, likely two of them hit a nail, should buy lotto lol

LP.8.1 vaccine availability From 2 March 2026, the COVID-19 vaccine for people aged 12+ will be updated from JN.1 to Comirnaty LP.8.1. The vaccine for children has already moved to LP.8.1 and the vaccine for infants will change during February. www.pharmac.govt.nz/medicine-fun...

Hnnnnngh I get to pick what's going onto the new bank notes, a lot of the choices are good picks, there's even one for "radiant women" , but I can only pick a max of 5... help lol

This story should always get more air time. Fantastic case of having a very public figure (who looked beyond his own borders and across the sea of humanity), and pushed for a targeted long-term sustainable solution that is well funded and *listens to the science*. Great things can be achieved.

NZ economy propped up by the housing market. Kiwi pesos, alright.

Just waiting back on confirmation if the air change rate is per hour, as the reply didn't state. I asked about the ACH for NZICC as Overload is being held there this year... and the answer I got was 1.95 in full fresh air mode (with a NB that it rarely operates in full fresh air mode). Continued>

I really do not want to go to work tomorrow. Mentally not there.

I've been wearing my Sonic Cafe shirt last few days but since it's white.... and I've changed to a black shirt every time I need to eat or cook (which has been pasta these past 2 days) LOL. I just know I am gonna get a stain on it cause it's white.

KS rate reduction applied for ✨

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

Good thing I've never used their store and never will

Did you know? Taiwan is known as the kingdom fruits... 😌👌 And I wholeheartedly agree. Wtf how does the bananas from 7 taste so effin good!!! And a while selection of fruits you've never seen!

Corn discourse. Which end is the tail and which end is the head? 那邊是尾，那邊是頭？

LMAO I WON THE RCEEIPT LOTTERY Only $500 but lmaooooo that's so funny I can't even receive the prize 🤣 gotta ask my cuz

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Lmfao

East coast stunning....

This should be the rule for all high drawing electrical appliances. Kettles, microwaves, (bench) ovens, irons... Basically anything that generates heat.

remarkably appropriate meme

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

“I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :)”

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

myanimelist.net/wrap-up/Roll... Good taste for top anime, if I say so myself LOL

Last boss...

I think our router is dying. Internet gets a bit spotty sometimes. Any recommendations for routers lol

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Golden Kamuy is perfection and no one can argue with me

Shizuo, my beloved.... Such a magical place...

I ran into him in dealer's room and I fucking cackled

Finally, a day where it actually feels like summer and I'm sweating in 短袖短褲 shorts upper&lower

Hey fellow NZers being all "our cops aren't like that, they'll just tell you to blow on a pie" please recall that our cops will a) disproportionately target Māori and Pasifika communities b) cover up for their colleagues who abuse women and harass the woman instead c) search CSAM at work

Omg YEAH I guess that's kinda genius 😂

Domestic flights ventilation is as bad as a bus. Constantly in the 1500-2000ppm range even after takeoff. International flights are way better once in the air, staying under 800ppm on average in the prem economy cabin.

As someone that struggles with a delusional disorder, and spent a few years in a psychosis hell-hole, I am fairly convinced that I would have been manipulated into being a genuine threat to myself and others were ChatGPT a thing I could have interacted with pre-Therapy. It is a murder machine.

Got to see these meerkats up close today 😭✊ clumsy little buggers. Thank you @icyrose.bsky.social and Blossom for this experience!! 💖

last piece of 2025! i hope everyone has a safe and happy new year 🎉 #digimon #myart

新年快樂，我先睡覺了，晚安。

I wish I could have attended Bahamut 29... Maybe next year it won't be over the hardest period to get leave for at work!

The land is cloaked in the deepest blue... The shadow of clouds cross the dune...

Just a reminder that if you don't want to be force fed AI whenever you Google search, switch to another search engine. There are several; such as Ecosia and Duckduckgo. I use Ecosia and I like how you also contribute to planting trees. It also removes the URL tracking.
