"…the Nature researchers found that CO2 levels of as little as 800 ppm allow the SARS-CoV-2 virus to remain ten times more viable after forty minutes than regular CO2 levels. This happens within 2 minutes of exposure to 800 ppm of CO2.

"What is now clear is that meeting environments previously seen as somewhat risky for viral contagion are much more dangerous than was previously thought." - @ASegar

It's so good to see a televised broadcast with a confirming that each infection will increase the risk of long-term effects, typically but not just that. It is exhausting to people like me who are very much because we know that IN THE FLESH, and we don't see anything or anyone anywhere validating our experience: not out of solidarity but as a scientific truth? I have to justify myself EVERY DAY 😷.! @longcovid

    A mask ban makes our communities LESS safe.

    It makes everyone more at risk of COVID and other health concerns.

    It increases harassment of higher risk people, Asian people, and many others.

    It increases profiling of Black and Brown communities.

    But you can get COVID everywhere. EVERYWHERE is health-related. A mask ban doesn't make sense.
