What I was going to say. I gig in a mask and that's a risk for many reasons. But I'm not going to increase that risk for things that I value less, in venues that don't ventilate or even understand the need. Here was the co2 from last gig.
Co2 monitor showing 2142 parts per million of co2. Outdoor levels are 420. Anything over 800 indoors is considered an elevated risk of disease transmission. Above 1200 is not recommended regardless of what is in the air and constitutes a considerable amount of rebreathed exhalations.

I have a gig this afternoon. I will be carefully masked. #ffp3, headstraps, double sided tape. I hope it's enough. Lots of covid about atm. Nobody else will even consider not passing on or catching this dangerous disease.

Who's that lady?

What is wrong with people? #Covid
I tried to reply but it didn't seem to go through:
Just wow! On the one hand, well done for recognising the need to take a test, at least. On the other, how are you surprised? Why did you believe Covid was a thing of the past. Of 2020? Last year almost a thousand people a month DIED of it officially in the UK. Given the tens of thousands of papers on the dangers of Covid, what makes you think you'll just recover and not be permanently damaged, possibly with debilitating Long Covid? Covid infection impacts every organ system in the body but is particularly pernicious in the cardio-vascular and nervous systems. You had an opportunity here to not minimise this very dangerous disease, but you're still suggesting that it's only 'vulnerable' people at risk. It's not. It's you. You are at risk. Make sure you do absolutely no exercise for at least six months. I hope you make as good a recovery as possible. In future, protect yourself from infection. You've had it at least twice now. Reinfection increases the risk cumulatively.

Seven months into his second term, Trump has turned the machinery of the state, the courts, and the loudspeaker of the presidency into tools of personal retribution, ensuring that no judge, journalist, official, politician, business leader or cultural figure is beyond his reach.

When you look at this graph, what do you see?
Graph showing Covid Test Positivity in England. x axis dates show July, Oct 24 and Jan, Apr, Jul 25, to date. Horizontal bands show 'Above high level of activity', 'Moderate level of activity', 'low level of activity' and 'below baseline threshold of activity' from top to bottom. Line shows two peaks in July and Oct into moderate and high. Since January the line has steadily risen within the 'below baseline threshold' and now is in the 'low level' with an additional recent small steep rise.

Indeed. Check out this reply to one of my posts in a 'progressive alliance' on fb. With that degree of discounting, I didn't bother to respond:
Ranty post says: Juliet Green you are a great example of the common social media practice these days of stating the exact opposite of what is true. Labour isn’t neoliberal - that is a lie, you are a liar. They haven’t turned their back on climate science - that is a lie, you are a liar. They aren’t dismantling the welfare system - that is a lie, you are a liar. They aren’t demonising the disabled or migrants - that is a lie, you are a liar. They don’t support genocidal regimes - that is a lie, you are a liar. They aren’t sucking up to anyone. You’ve demonstrated that you are just a habitual liar.

Well done to Chris Coghlan MP for Dorking and Horley for these questions. I had not noticed them before. The replies are interesting indeed, given the Gwynne letter where he states categorically that SarsCov2 is not mainly airborne. A shame the answers are so useless and deflective though. #Covid
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of waiting until the publication of the final Module 3 Covid-19 Inquiry report to (a) recognise the role of airborne transmission of SARS-Cov-2 and (b) update (i) Infection Prevention Controls guidance in the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual and (ii) Health Technical Memoranda guidelines to limit airborne transmission of (A) Covid-19 and (B) other respiratory viruses on (1) health workers and (2) patients. 20 January 2025 NHS England maintains efforts to evaluate potential revisions to the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual (NIPCM), which aim to maintain high infection, prevention, and control standards. Any updates will ensure consistent application across healthcare settings. Current guidance balances scientific evidence, operational feasibility, and sustainable infection, prevention, and control practices to protect healthcare workers and patients. Delaying NIPCM updates until the final Module 3 COVID-19 inquiry report risks greater exposure to infection, slower practice improvements, and training gaps. Timely updates, based on emerging evidence, strengthen healthcare worker and patient safety through evidence-based, locally adapted measures. The updated acute respiratory virus guidance, published in March 2024, advises adult social care providers on precautions for preventing respiratory infection transmission, addressing masks, ventilation, and other measures based on current evidence. The acute respiratory virus guidance is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/infection-prevention-and-control-in-adult-social-care-acute-respiratory-infection/infection-prevention-and-control-ipc-in-adult-social-care-acute-respiratory-infection-ari To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of revising the Infection Prevention Controls guidance in the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual and Health Technical Memoranda guidelines prior to 1 March 2025 to ensure (a) recognition of the role of airborne transmission of SARS-Cov-2 and (b) appropriate guidance on (i) the use of FFP3 masks, (ii) improved standards of ventilation and air filter devices in (A) clinical and (B) non-clinical healthcare settings and (iii) other measures to limit airborne transmission of (1) Covid-19 and (2) other respiratory viruses; and if he will take steps to ensure the distribution of those guidelines to all employers and providers of healthcare workers. 20 January 2025 The emerging evidence on airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses is continually reviewed by the UK Health Security Agency, NHS England, and the Department. Assessment of research on aerosol behaviour, Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs), and personal protective equipment, including FFP3 masks, ensures that the guidance reflects the latest science and best practice. The National Infection Prevention and Control Manual offers practical guidance on respiratory transmission, including airborne pathways, with non-pathogen-specific standards providing a robust framework for diverse infection, prevention, and control challenges. The updated acute respiratory virus guidance, published in March 2024, advises adult social care providers on precautions for preventing respiratory infection transmission, addressing masks, ventilation, and other measures based on current evidence. The acute respiratory virus guidance is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/infection-prevention-and-control-in-adult-social-care-acute-respiratory-infection/infection-prevention-and-control-ipc-in-adult-social-care-acute-respiratory-infection-ari

A corner of a pub by a large window. A male guitarist is seated on the left strumming a gypsy jazz style guotar and a young female violinist is standing on the right, playing the violin. At the back next to a speaker on a stand, a woman is playing a double bass. She is wearing a black FFP3 mask.

#FFP3 does hid how ancient I am. This is a definite bonus. Avoiding infection with #Covid et al as far as I can, but still playing what I can. Double bass but not saxophone.

The blue blanket came on holiday and made a doggy bed but the couch was more appealing. It's ok it was allowed. #DogsOfBluesky
A tan and boxer dog is lying asleep on one end of a sofa on a red spotted throw. His blue blanket is visible on the floor covering a makeshift dog bed. The scene is inside a holiday cottage.

I am a reasonably good portrait artist. This is one I did a long time ago of a little girl with a pet rat. I hardly ever paint these days. I wonder why.

A beautiful red boxer dog is sitting on a sofa looking slightly left with a serious boxer face. He is wearing a blue blanket over his head and round his shoulders like a portrait of the virgin Mary.

I like this one:
'As you can see, the share of positive tests for many respiratory pathogens declined during the pandemic. This decline was greatest from spring 2020 to 2021 when restrictions were strictest.'
Graph shows respiratory pathogens detected in settle flu study. It's a weekly sample of a range of pathogens from 2018 to 2024. There is a big drop in all of them around 2020.
