    Interesting! Great to see a study confirm anecdotal/survey evidence. Though worth noting that the sample size was too small to make any direct call on CFS: only one person had CFS before getting covid.

    SF wastewater levels are extremely high, and that's before Pride weekend and July 4th. As much as possible, the next few weeks are the time to:

    • Wear a respirator in public
    • Avoid indoor spaces

    I'm not attending, but wanted to say I'm very impressed by how seriously North Bay Python ( @NorthBayPython ) is taking COVID. They're even monitoring CO₂ levels throughout their conference venue and posting the values. 500-550 ppm--the range the linked post says they're seeing--is barely higher than outside, which averages around 450 ppm most places, and at that level you'd probably be safe without a mask on (though I'd recommend always wearing a good-fitting N95 mask indoors with other people, personally, and if everyone went without a mask the COVID risk would increase even with such good air quality). It means the air is circulating well, which clears the air of virus.

    They're showing how's it done, and it's not too onerous (at least, they're making it look easy). Every conference should be doing this kind of thing if they care about their attendees.

    I just confirmed this on the phone and it makes me so happy! Victoria Bug Zoo requires masks for the first hour they are open every day, for everybody age 5 and up.

    One hour is stingy in the grand scheme, but at this moment I will celebrate anybody making any practical effort towards accessibility and covid safety. The difference between zero and one is huge.

    We are in the midst of yet another wave and yet the healthcare organization is doing away with employee testing and allowing healthcare workers to return to work after 24h. Hard not to despair. I will continue to wear at all times.
