Covid and Flu are working in tandem right now to wreak havoc. Healthcare systems everywhere are buckling under the pressure, and this winter will not be an anomaly, this will be the new norm unless we change course and get back to basics. #ForeverSick should not be our goal.

Do you shape your life around avoiding E. coli and drinking only 'clean' water?
What is 'clean' water, anyway, and how does it differ from disease-free water, which is what engineers and scientists supply you with?
We could also supply you with disease-free air, in bulk, via ASHRAE 241. Cool, eh?

Not only are respirators effective, they're as near to perfect as things get in the real world.
"If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout, the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7 % and 53.9 %, respectively Increasing the ventilation rate from 1 ACH to 6 ACH reduced the infection risk. ."

For me, a new phase of the pandemic began in May ’22, when I took more serious notice of troubling scientific studies that weren’t being reported by the media. It then dawned on me, like in a horror movie, that the government was going to simply nope out of COVID—& that everyone would follow suit.
Some say
this pandemic began
on November 30, 2019
as that was the day
of the first confirmed Covid case.
And some say
this pandemic began
on March 11, 2020
as that was the day
of the WHO’s pandemic declaration.
But I think all would say
this pandemic
has lasted far too long.

This is why I mask indoors when sharing air with others, regularly test, use air purifiers, and get a COVID booster every six months, most recently on Monday. Saddens and infuriates me governments and organisations are letting us down despite all the evidence these protections are still needed.
COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.
