When you do an in-person event, I would advice to make covid tests on the entry obligatory. We usually do this at the #socrates unconference. We had covid-positive test cases. So, this is a reminder that this nasty little virus is still there. #CovidIsNotOver

What's the current research/understanding of COVID risk at outdoor gatherings?

Is there information about how to assess risk based on actual modeling or research?

If you feel like you do a similar thing to what Sarah Michelle Gellar does, you can’t go wrong. Mask up.

Ich weiß, dass einige Leute auf der Suche nach Alternativen zu VirX sind, das in Deutschland nicht mehr vertrieben wird (in anderen Ländern dagegen schon, aber hierzulande nur sehr teuer zu bekommen). Die gängige Wahl ist Algovir, wo die Studienlage als "dürftig" zu beschreiben schon eine Untertreibung ist.

Jedenfalls gibt es jetzt eine neue Studie zur Wirkung von Azelastin-Nasensprays, die eigentlich gegen Allergien eingesetzt werden:
https://www.uni-saarland.de/aktuell/nasenspray-azelastin-wirkung-corona-39343.html
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2838335

Zusammenfassung: Anwendung dreimal täglich, nach bekanntem Kontakt oder bei akuten Symptomen fünfmal täglich, ein Sprühstoß pro Nasenloch. Die Studie zeigt eine deutliche Reduktion der Infektionen, sowohl mit COVID-19 als auch mit Rhinoviren, wobei konkrete Angaben (zwei Drittel) wegen der kleinen Zahl der festgestellten Infektionen mit Vorsicht zu genießen sind.

Natürlich kann ein Nasenspray keinen 100-prozentigen Schutz liefern, aber Azelastin hat damit eine nachgewiesene und durchaus beachtliche Wirkung.

Hi Mastodon & @violetblue!

I'm looking for an N95 mask with no metal but with an exhale valve for my spouse to wear at his warehouse job. He's been wearing 3M 8210V religiously since 2020 to keep from bringing Covid home to me, but his employer is reinstating the use of metal detectors and if the metal staples used to attach the straps set it off, I'm pretty sure he's going to punch out anyone trying to remove his mask.

Suggestions? Boosts appreciated!

As a cyclist of 15 years... it pains me to admit we're kinda car dependent for a bit.

My knees aren't what they used to be and worse covid isn't over.

In a world without covid, I'd be love to take our tiny human on the bus and train, but it's pretty much impossible to get a 8 month to wear a mask and its even more challenging to keep unmasked strangers out of their adorable lil face.

Driving with a case of COVID raised the odds of having a car crash about as much as being at the legal threshold of DUI or running a red light, according to an analysis of pandemic-era public health and transportation records from seven states.
