Are you a #covidcautious classroom?
We are looking for teachers willing to test Jasper, a CO2 monitor in their classrooms. Jasper is a prototype and we would like to receive user feedback as soon as possible from several countries. If you are interested, please fill out the form: letsair.org/jasper

Are you a #covidcautious classroom?
Update: I've found one for £90 in Penge (London, SE20).
Probably not possible to get one much cheaper, as all that is available in UK this yr is #Pfizer (and it runs more expensive than #Novavax did).

Just come back from getting my autumn #covid19vaccine. Almost no one in UK qualifies to get them
free on the NHS so I've had to pay out of pocket (again!) Getting 1 jab every 6 mos. means I've paid a whopping £185 pounds out of pocket in 2025 (that's $346CAD) /1

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.
