@PacificNic @jbond absolutely critical to acknowledge this. I'm fully vaxxed plus fully boosted per immunocompromised schedule.

I've been exposed 3x - every time was about 3 weeks post booster. Never developed symptoms and never tested positive on rapid or pcr and I do think the vaccine played a role - but it wasn't the sole reason I didn't get it. I also think luck, viral load of person infected and place it happened in played a large role as well.

Still mask indoors and outdoors when around others and don't see anyone unmasked expect for a small core group (5 people) who are also extremely covid cautious.

Like, as a fairly extroverted and community oriented person, I completely understand the desire to attend events and be around others.

But what's frustrating is we could have these events and make them safer with #layersofprotection. People have successfully mobilized their communities to put on covid safe events - to provide testing and contact tracing and masks.

With precautions in place, events aren't totally out of the question. But so many people have just - not done that and instead dropped precautions.

I just don't understand.

This week's #COVID19WeatherReport shows #variant trends and rising #wastewater levels - higher than this time 2020. #Hospitalizations are rising. #LongCovid is problematic.

We must change our habits to slow the spread! #QualityMasks #StayHomeSick #Ventilate #COVIDisAirborne #LayersOfProtection #N95 #KN95 #KF94 #Filtrate #CovidIsNotOver #RSV #Flu

In terms of far-UVC 222nm disinfection, I've only found this pendant that is actually purchasable. It's still meant for commercial use, but we could put it in our dining room. It's a wee bit spendy...

Currently researching 222nm lights - hopefully we can order and get some installed (residential) before the Christmas season! #222nm #layersofprotection
