Readings from my Aranet4 c02 monitor on the first day of #SSWR2025. The level of c02 in the air helps assess air exchange, how much air in the room is being re-breathed, and is one of the things I consider when assessing COVID risk level. I attended a 3:15 presentation & part of the plenary.

One of the most frustratingly infuriating thing about insurance companies these days is how there is this medication that really works for your condition, its a miracle drug, and for whatever reason, the insurance company can just straight up deny it coverage.
