Today marks six years of long COVID for me. I knew it wouldn't be weeks or even months trying to wade through a pandemic, that it would be years. I just didn't expect this much anti-science to make it impossible to ever get out of it.

This chart from our blog shows how indoor carbon dioxide levels reflect ventilation and infection risk. As CO2 rises, the probability of infection rises during close conversation. High quality respirators and strong ventilation help keep risk much lower.

New research following the Los Angeles wildfires shows that toxic exposures can persist long after flames are out. @joeallenjoe.bsky.social highlighted how lingering pollutants may pose ongoing health risks for affected communities, via The Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...
Graphic for Heart Month. Text at top reads “February is Heart Month.” Center text states “27% of global heart disease deaths are related to air pollution.” Background shows scattered red paper hearts on a dark surface. In the middle is a blue cartoon heart character with a worried expression. Bottom text reads “Air Support Project” with logo.
February is Heart Month. The air we breathe matters to heart health.
Tiny particles like PM2.5 can enter the bloodstream and affect the body in measurable ways. The WHO estimates 99 percent of people breathe polluted air.

Julia Marie tweet: What makes me sad seeing photos like this & of the NASA astronauts is, you must understand, these athletes didn't just spontaneously all decide to mask. They're being forced to mask be richer ppl have a stake in their bodies & health. Their health has value. Yours doesn't. (With a photo of several masked Olympics athletes at a press conference)
The powers that be know that COVID remains dangerous. They just don’t want any of “their” funds to go towards combatting it.

🚨 Last Chance Alert: North Box Air Purifier Kits 🚨
The following North Box Air Purifier Kits are being discontinued soon:

UPDATE: Our Community Call with @chimsween20.bsky.social has been moved to tomorrow (Feb 10th) and to Google Meet to avoid the tech issue that we ran into on Thursday.
Great explanation of airborne viruses.
CR Boxes can help remove most of these viruses from the air.
A graphic shows Maryland Delegate Greg Wims reading off of a computer during a House of Delegates event. Behind him, the photo is overlaid with a screenshot from the Maryland legislature’s website showing the progress of HB0027, the Long COVID innovation bill’s designation in the House. It is currently in the “referral to committee” phase and soon to have a hearing. The background behind that timeline is the Maryland state flag. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Maryland considers Long COVID innovation bill. The novel legislation would support grants and loans for Long COVID research and development, building on an existing state program. By Betsy Ladyzhets.”
Community members interested in supporting the bill. Lawmakers will discuss the bill in two hearings next week. House of Delegates’ Health committee Tuesday, February 10 2 p.m. ET Supporters can submit testimony for the House hearing on Friday, February 6, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET. Senate’s Finance committee Thursday, February 12 1 p.m. ET. Supporters can submit testimony for the House hearing on Tuesday, February 10, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET.
Community members interested in supporting the bill.

Instructions and guidance are available at: mdlongcovid.com mgaleg.maryland.gov People can also mark that they support the bill by marking their position as "favorable" without writing testimony.

"We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago." @sanders.senate.gov
Sadly, other diseases are to be expected: without vaccines, poor indoor air renewal will lead to the spread of airborne diseases.
Hello, all. Due to an unfortunate technical issue with our guest, this Community Call has been rescheduled to next week. We will update everyone soon with the new date and sign-up link.
