I see a lot of abled people focusing on single pronged approaches to this pandemic, and I am begging you to consider the chronically ill & immunocompromised who lost more than you can imagine pre-pandemic & just keep losing. Read on: Background: In 2016 two things happened, my apartment began to leak, unbeknownst to me feeding a years old mold & mycotoxin colony in our ceiling, and I was given a pneumonia vaccine to see if my immune system was working. It wasn't, and I had full-blown pneumonia in 3 days.

Water damage, mold, & your health: Take it from me, a person who should probably be dead from fungus, you want to go above & beyond what your insurance company or landlord is offering to deal with the floods. I'm happy to answer any questions. Here are some DIY thoughts: Yes, you want an industrial grade dehumidifier running as soon as possible even if the waters receded. I totally understand if you cannot afford it. I also could not afford to move out of the apartment that was killing me, but in retrospect it cost me SO MUCH MORE to stay.
