It’s go time! Flight ✈️ to Florida for 1st work trip. Already a successful start 😮‍💨 low crowds, took minutes to check bag (paid in advance) & very short TSA line. Agent allowed me to keep mask on 🏆 I said I’m severely high risk & showed him maskless photo from outside Image
Image
INTL terminal had camera to take our photos even so I’m relieved he supported me. Exhalaron by & @cleanairkits with portable battery running next to me. Aranet is now showing 742 (waiting by a closed gate with less people). Flight delayed 1 hour so I took my time checking in
Masks decorated w tattoos + chain, @Engineer_Wong Air Fanta packed, extra masks, profi, lumify + stoggles, betadine before/profi after, Crest CPC breath mist, packed polypropylene for hotel vents, airfanta mini (in case of quick water sip - @SIPmask untested so didn’t bring 😢) Image
Image
@Engineer_Wong @SIPmask I made sure to be last to board. No one in center seat 🙌🏼 row passenger doesn’t seem symptomatic 👍🏼 no issue with Exhalaron tucked below seat (I’ll move to lap once we take off). Aranet 1438 while idling… 🤢 Image
Image
Never removed mask for ~6 hour flight 🙃 Aranet 1200-1400 range. 2 HEPAS in room ran for 1 hr while grabbing food. Tissue test bathroom vent 👍🏼 & keeping on. Taped polypropylene over room vents. Already got comment by coworker about not seeing my face so today should be a hoot 🤷🏻‍♀️ Image
Conference room Aranet 800s-low 1000s. Exhalaron + Air Fanta running next to me. Received a lot of compliments on my mask chain & tattoo design. Feeling confident & supported by great colleagues 🥹 Easy to slip outside for snacks / water. I’ve got this 💪 😷 Image
Image
Great pointer below. Answering Qs: tissue test places tissue on bathroom vent to see if it sticks to indicate working. Polypropylene, a filter medium, helps filter any recirculated air via vents. Mask chain made with supplies (Michael’s). Tattoos temporary placed with damp towel.
Think I got lucky with San Diego TSA because Tampa didn’t allow picture to keep mask on (but they did allow me to skip camera ID which is optional) & honored my request for super quick mask down time. Pluslife after arriving home today is negative. Plan to test every 12 hours 🤞

Interesting convo w BIL after finally getting to host thanks to PlusLife. SF area liberal/high edu/affluent ppl in our network don’t see high rate of longcovid in their communities so don’t believe it’s high % risk. “Covid here to stay” so when will we stop being so careful?
Validated they believe longcovid exists (but how can “everything” be from COVID & not pre existing, age etc); think “like the flu” it’s an illness that is part of life now & 99% of pop have been infected so what can even be done now. Willing to take risk like other risks in life
Turned Q around, “if Covid here to stay, when will annual reinfections w 5% min. risk of 1 in 200 chronic conditions be enough to make behavior changes to stop getting infected? When will it be enough to care again?” Doubled down they aren’t seeing this risk in real life.

It’s SO important to air out a space before entering, even if no one is currently occupying. Infection story with permission from a friend: Despite being SUPER cautious, her husband woke up with a scratchy throat & nasal congestion. He was sure they hadn’t been exposed because…
they had been proactive about avoiding people/entering indoor spaces. Her intuition said to test & he was surprisingly positive 😭 They could not figure out the failure point. Couple days passed & they received an invoice for car detailing. Sure enough, the car tech confirmed…
He had entered their vehicle (didn’t notify them beforehand as typical). They were shocked. Could the infection come from exposure 3 HOURS after the detailing in the closed interior space of the car? 🤯 The answer is yes 😔 COV1D lingers without proper ventilation/air filtration.

So…I went full tilt in a large local moms FB group countering COV1D misinformation. Lots of expected 🤣 emojis & anti vax + angry lockdown rhetoric, but a few did speak up saying they are suffering from #LongCovid or had a really bad experience with the acute stage recently 🧵
A couple shared they had to bring their infants to the ER 😔 My delivery isn’t very kind these days (I’m working on it) because I’m exasperated by the minimizing of this virus & behaviors directly hurting our communities…I’ve lost empathy in year 5 & see individuals as complicit
Someone called me out for not being a great advocacy in my approach. I asked them what will get through because soft delivery hasn’t worked. This was their defense as to why people aren’t receptive: “It all sounds mentally exhausting. Millions of people are having a hard time…”

Negative 📉 PlusLife PCR on day 5 post baby’s surgery 🙌🏼 We wore masks everyday in our house, even to sleep with HEPAS on & windows open as extra measures. Recorded a rough video to demonstrate how the test works. Full video linked & snippets below. Thanks to @virus_sucks_ 🙏

The discourse about 1-way masking leaves little empathy for parents navigating this terrible timeline with young children establishing their own identities/boundaries. I’m sharing a nonessential trip to Target & understand if this provokes unfollows. We do our best as parents…

to support our children’s exploration of this broken world & their unique interests. I likely failed by allowing YouTube, but he is OBSESSED with monster trucks. We are teaching financial literacy starting young so have helped him save any money he receives from chores/etc…
Buying online is somehow 3x more money than in store here. He worked super hard to save $13 & his one request was to go to a store to buy a monster truck. I can count on one hand how many indoor stores I’ve brought him in over these 4 years, but we use layered mitigations always:
