I really love seeing #CleanAirClub expand from focusing on infection control measures like masks and air filters, to also centering solidarity with people with long covid and ME/CFS. Connecting the dots.
This list of 50+ ways to show up for people with long covid and me/cfs is very good, despite being on Instagram:
If in the USA, it drops the price by ~$100.

"For those deciding between Metrix and Pluslife, the Pluslife becomes way cheaper *per test* after the 10th test.
The upfront cost sucks, but after 10 you're working towards getting a per test cost of ~$8 (same as a rapid test!)"
The Clean Air Club link in bio has discount codes:

Select option "Request a Pluslife discount code". Follow the instructions for where you live.
COVID at-home molecular testing:
"Regular rapid tests don't produce reliable negative results. Luckily, there are at-home molecular tests that have an accuracy approaching what you get from PCR tests, the gold-standard in viral detection!"
We got a Pluslife Minidock: "...98.3% test sensitivity -- meaning if it shows a negative result, you can rely pretty heavily on that."
Ah, the skills inventory from #CleanAirClub, that was one of them...

How frequently have you set your CO2 monitor to take a measurement?
Why had it never occurred to me that #PublicLibraries would be great organizations to run #CleanAirClub style lending programs for air quality gear? This is a cool resource about how libraries can set up lending for CO2 monitors:

"Clean Air Club Is Organizing Musicians to Make COVID-Safer Shows and Spaces"
"Clean Air Club is a volunteer organization that provides free air purifiers to Chicago artists and touring musicians, so their shows are safer for the artists, audiences, and staff at the venues. The organization was launched in Chicago, but Clean Air Club and its offshoots now provide air purifiers and far-UVC lights to artists & venues in other cities."

Charging my NUKIT Torch portable UV lights and my Respiray Wearable HEPA filter for work tomorrow!
UV lights and HEPA filters both remove viral particles like #COVID19 from the air.
I use these in combination with my #FloMask or my #EnvoPro respirator, my large wall-plug HEPA filter, #Nasitrol nasal spray, #Lumify eye drops, and #HoneyBLIS probiotics!

Last thing I want to make sure to share for #LongCovidAwarenessDay is this podcast interview with Emily Dupree, the absolute legend / regular person who founded #CleanAirClub and inspired dozens of similar lending library projects, providing free air filters and far-uvc lights for arts events. Her clarity about clean air and mask requirements as access issues is 👌🏻
Fundraiser sticker from #CleanAirClub ! I can already tell I will never find the right place to stick it
Well, crap. It appears the cleanairkit *doesn't* come with filters, which I have to round up separately?
So this *isn't* a thing I can just buy, assemble, and use 🤦 😭
Okay, back to plan A, pick up four filters from my local hardware store and assemble it myself, since the kit doesn't seem to make things any easier AND is expensive.
(Well, at least that solves "where do I store the box fan?")

...both sell various CR boxes kits.
So is anyone aware of premade CR boxes, or kits, available to purchase?
I need to come up with a couple in the next two of weeks. I already have one box fan, and a hardware that doubtless can provide the materials. I know there are quantities of plans out there on the web.
But if I could somehow just cause a couple of these to show up at my house, it would make things soooo much easier...
