[covid-safer-hotties]

Are there any resources/tips for going to the dentist? I’ve been putting it off for years, and I need to go soon before my teeth issues get any worse. But I’m terrified to take off my mask in a medical facility. I’m not even sure if I can find a place near me that requires staff AND patients to mask anymore :(

I get not wanting to get covid, but teeth problems are a HUGE risk for things like sepsis, so you should try to go anywhere asap. There's a pretty good chance you'd rather risk a covid infection now than be septic in a hospital and then catch covid there, tbh. Not trying to scare you, just being clear about the need for the risk.

Be prepared to go in at least twice since you haven't been in years, once for X-rays/cleaning/introductions, and then again (and perhaps again and again depending on your specific issues) to actually undergo procedures like fillings, etc. Going earliest mitigates the most risk. Make sure to schedule your appointments first thing in the morning for the lowest risk or right after their lunch break for not as low but definately lower risk.

You can bring your own air purifier, which can also help to mitigate risk. Some people swear by the "Redimask hack" in which you use this adhesive N95 over only your nose and breathe through your nose during the procedure. The adhesive on these masks makes me break out in welts/sweat the mask off, so if you've got a similar problem, there's some other tips here.

This is one of those situations where nasal sprays and mouthwashes may have some payoff, but they can't keep you from inhaling covid, so It's up to you whether you find them useful. Personally, I save the CPC mouthwash for before and after dental visits for this reason, and the same with xylitol nasal spray: there's been study showing that infections starting in the nose and throat do more neurological damage than ones starting from the lung, and while not perfect, it does add a layer of protection.

I own a wearable air filter for my allergies, and it has a MERV 17 filter, so I usually bring it along with me to the dentist to keep clean air blowing right up my nose, but I totally get how not everyone has $120 to drop on a device like that. There's a few small HEPA filters that can be purchased for between $50 and $90 that would work for that purpose. There are some links to some info about some on our site.

the air purifier advice please 🙏

hello!!!!! yes, i will info dump some of the things i come across at work everyday, hopefully it helps!

Quick overview on how air purifiers work: ok so purifiers don't "kill" bacteria/particles which is a lot of the marketing you'll see, air purifiers take in air, filter out particles, and push out clean air back into your home so you don't breathe in the dangerous particles: it's all about airflow (created with a strong motor) and filter type

ONLY trust HEPA and activated carbon filters. every other "technology" out there is not sound, there's no definitive research that proves the effectiveness of any other tech on the market. at best it's ineffective, at worst it's dangerous, i wouldn't trust any of it. some common types of technologies to avoid: ozone generators, ionizers, uv light, when a company has their own "patented tech" that isn't HEPA or carbon

HEPA: this targets airborne particles. dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, smoke particles

ACTIVATED CARBON: this targets gasses, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), odors, smoke odors

Try to find a purifier that's going to cover a lot of your home or at least an entire room - they're portable so I suggest moving them around during the day if you can and bringing them into your bedroom at night.

Finding a purifier that covers your home/room: suggested air changes per hour (ACH) is 4.8 - many companies will list 1 ACH for their square foot coverage to make it seem like it can cover a lot, and it's just not true. Companies SHOULD be sharing their clean air delivery rate (CADR) information that is connected to ENERGY STAR and is tested by the regulatory agency so they cannot fudge their numbers, if they don't share this information it's a red flag

Check CADR and square foot coverage at 4.8 ACH for a product HERE

For example: an air purifier that can clean 1,000 sq ft in 60 minutes with 1 ACH, can clean 500 sq ft in 30 minutes with 2 ACH, and 80 sq ft in 12.5 minutes with 4.8 ACH (it's confusing, i know, but it's important to have a purifier(s) strong enough to clean your indoor space)

Air quality sensors built into purifiers are cheap, i don't trust them to accurately portray your indoor air quality readings, also the apps are...awful: the markets been flooded with smart purifiers it's tough to find one that DOESN'T have an app attached to it. there's nothing wrong with a smart purifier, its up to the user, but its that they can up the price with the add-ons that don't help the main goal of your purifier: clean your indoor air and create healthy indoor air quality in your home

Cross ventilation helps, open those windows!!! air out your home!!! but don't open them on high pollen count or bad air quality days or if you're located near high pollution or close to an active wildfire or smoke. you can check US location air quality HERE ALSO, don't run your air purifiers while you have the windows open. they'll try to clean the outside airflow too, rendering it pretty ineffective.

Look for certifications!!! ENERGY STAR, AHAM, CARB, INTERTEK - these are independent safety and performance certifications that companies have to go through a testing process to receive them, it's not just marketing these are regulations and are standard - if a company doesn't share these results or aren't certified MAJOR red flag

Run those purifiers 24/7!!!!! If they're ENERGY STAR certified (they should be, look for the logo!!) it shouldn't affect your energy bill in a significant way

Just because a purifier costs more doesn't mean it performs better!! just focus on the air cleaning ability: the thing a purifier IS MEANT TO DO: and try to forget about the rest

Unfortunately, a good purifier is always going to be a bit of an investment. the mini purifiers out there and the wearable ones just do not do anything, i wish they did, but filters need surface area to be effective, they're too small, and the motor isn't efficient.

Good news is there should be some very good sales coming up in november!!!! stay safe!!

They will symbolize the merging of technology and nature in the battle for sustainability.

The Linear Megastructure: A Utopian Future for the Privileged

As the world advances, the privileged few will find themselves residing within an immense, linear megastructure stretching across continents. This self-sustaining sanctuary will offer everything its residents need—food, water, energy—while ensuring that every necessity is met without compromising the environment. Within this structure, vertical farming and renewable energy will thrive, turning the space into a paradise. But outside the sanctuary, the world will face extreme poverty, famine, and disease, with a growing underclass struggling to survive in a brutal wasteland.

The Divided World: The Growing Rift Between the Line and the Wasteland

The distinction between those living within the megastructure and the outcasts in the wasteland will be stark. The outcasts, once a part of the privileged society, will now live in lawlessness and despair, battling famine, disease, and environmental destruction. They will be criminalized and marginalized, unable to access the prosperity enjoyed inside the Line. The divide between the two worlds will widen, creating an undercurrent of tension and inequality that could either ignite revolution or solidify the rule of the privileged few.

Men, once the sole rulers of society, will now occupy subordinate roles, adjusting to this new matriarchal order. Women will lead with unapologetic strength, shaping culture, policy, and innovation. This new world will represent the pinnacle of gender equality, where female leadership is not just accepted but celebrated.

Energy from the Human Body: Sustainable Power for All

In this future society, energy production will be decentralized, with each individual contributing to the power grid simply by existing. Through advanced technologies, the human body will generate and store energy, which can then be harnessed to power homes and businesses. This innovative solution will eliminate the need for traditional power sources, ensuring a sustainable energy cycle. People will sleep unaware that their bodies are actively contributing to the collective energy system, fostering a harmonious balance between humanity and the planet.

AI and Restorative Justice: A New Model of Governance

Governance will be radically transformed by artificial intelligence, which will oversee and resolve disputes with impartiality. Restorative justice will replace punitive systems, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Through preventative education and emotional intelligence training, society will foster a culture of empathy, fairness, and transparency. AI will ensure that resources are distributed equitably, eliminating corruption and injustice. This new system will create a utopia of peace, where individuals are held accountable not by the traditional justice system but through the lens of restorative practices.

Transportation and Urban Harmony: A World Without Traffic

Transportation will evolve to support a more efficient, peaceful way of life. Elevated trains will glide silently above the cities, providing rapid transit without the noise or pollution of traditional transportation systems. Cars, once the center of urban mobility, will be relegated underground, opening up streets for parks and public spaces. The result will be a cityscape where human interaction is prioritized over the hustle of traffic, allowing for an environment where people can live, work, and socialize in a space that feels calm and connected.

The Dystopian Wasteland: Outside the Line

While life inside the Line is a paradise of innovation and prosperity, the world outside is a wasteland. Chemical pollution has ravaged the environment, and the air is thick with toxic smog. Factories churn out contaminants that suffocate the land, and ecosystems collapse under the weight of human negligence. Diseases spread unchecked, and food is scarce. The people of this harsh world live in constant survival mode, trading whatever scraps they can find, as their world decays around them. The divide between the haves and have-nots could not be more pronounced.

Privacy and Communication: A Silent Revolution

In the future, communication will be entirely redefined. Advanced technology will allow people to communicate directly through their thoughts, bypassing the need for spoken words. Conversations will happen silently, with complete privacy. This system will revolutionize personal interactions, creating a world where individuals have total control over their communication and personal information. The outside world will remain a chaotic, noisy place, but inside the Line, peace and privacy will reign, creating a society where individuals can connect without the distractions or intrusions of the past.

The Fate of the Oceans: Preserving and Polluting

The oceans, once on the brink of disaster, will be saved through space-based waste disposal and technological intervention. Inside the Line, the seas will remain pristine, untouched by human pollutants, and marine ecosystems will thrive. However, outside the Line, the oceans are dying, polluted by human waste and chemical runoff. The oceans have become a symbol of the growing divide between the privileged and the oppressed, with those inside the Line enjoying the fruits of sustainable practices while those outside struggle against environmental devastation.

The Price of Progress: Ethical Dilemmas of Waste

Waste management will evolve with the creation of a designated waste planet, where all human waste is sent to be processed and disposed of. While this system may seem efficient, it raises ethical concerns about the cost of such a solution. The waste planet becomes a symbol of the moral compromises made in the name of progress. Inside the Line, streets will remain clean, and resources will be managed efficiently, while the outside world drowns in its own refuse, symbolizing the disparity between the two worlds.

Art and Culture in the Line: A Flourishing Society

In the Line, cultural expression will thrive. Creativity will flourish in every corner, as access to resources, education, and technology fosters an environment of artistic innovation. Art will not just be a form of expression but a way of life, with people creating works that reflect their experiences and aspirations. Outside the Line, however, art will become a distant memory. As survival takes precedence over creativity, cultural expression will wither, and the remnants of old art forms will be buried under the weight of despair.

The Future of Humanity: Divided and Unequal

The future is one of profound division: on one side, a utopia of health, equality, and creativity, and on the other, a dystopian wasteland where humanity fights for survival. Inside the Line, people will live in harmony with advanced technologies, thriving in a world that prioritizes sustainability, equality, and innovation. Outside, the environment will be decimated, and social structures will collapse. The stark contrast between the two worlds will pose the ultimate question: will the divide ever be bridged, or will the privileged few remain untouched while the rest suffer in chaos?

Wildfires not only pose a direct threat to affected areas, but they also contribute to a range of air pollution factors, making it crucial to be mindful of our personal health.

In this blog post, we will explore the intricate relationship between wildfires and summer air quality, shedding light on the varying impacts and offering insights into how we can protect ourselves from harmful air pollution.

The Link between Wildfires and Air Quality:

Wildfires can have a profound impact on air quality, both locally and on a regional scale. During a wildfire, organic matter, vegetation, and other materials release a range of pollutants into the atmosphere, including particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). These pollutants can have significant consequences for air quality and human health.

Particulate Matter and Its Effects:

One of the primary pollutants emitted during wildfires is particulate matter, commonly referred to as PM. These tiny airborne particles can penetrate deep into our respiratory system, potentially leading to respiratory issues and exacerbating existing conditions such as asthma and allergies. Additionally, PM can reduce visibility and create hazy conditions, affecting not only air quality but also overall well-being.

The Formation of Ground-Level Ozone:

Wildfires can also contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, a harmful pollutant and a key component of smog. The intense heat from wildfires can trigger chemical reactions between VOCs and NOx, leading to the production of ozone. High levels of ground-level ozone can have detrimental effects on respiratory health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions.
