There is no silver bullet solution to mitigating the harm caused by #COVID. We need masks, clean air, vaccines, treatments and more. None of these things are perfect, and none alone are sufficient to prevent all the harm being caused. We need them all. Keep speaking up for layers or protections.

“Let’s open the window to ventilate this room a bit.”
Imagine looking through the window and seeing Carlos Santana playing a guitar solo.
You look through the window and an obtrusive vendor appears, shouting about the great deal he has on vents for all your windows.
The windows and doors are open. Las ventanas y las puertas están abiertas.

I've been feeling down, tired and with the "I want to do nothing" attitude this past week. So I neglected some stuff in my life. Sometimes I felt like I was running away and felt guilty and sad about it.
Just ventilating over here. Being back on Tumblr makes me feel like I can do that for once...

These Three Types Of Ducting Will Help You Ventilate Your Property
Effective ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor environment, particularly in properties where airflow may be restricted. Ventilation Ducts play a vital role in facilitating proper airflow and air circulation, helping to remove pollutants, moisture, and stale air while promoting fresh air intake. Here are three types of ventilation ducts that can help you effectively ventilate your property:
Tumblr media
Flexible Ducts: Flexible ducts, also known as flex ducts, are versatile and easy to install, making them ideal for properties with limited space or complex layouts. Made of durable materials such as aluminum or plastic, flexible ducts can be bent and maneuvered around obstacles to reach different areas of the property. They are commonly used in residential and commercial HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems to connect air supply outlets to main ductwork, allowing for efficient distribution of conditioned air throughout the property.
Rigid Ducts: Rigid ducts, made of materials such as galvanized steel or PVC, offer durability and stability, making them suitable for long-term ventilation solutions. Rigid ducts maintain their shape and integrity, ensuring consistent airflow and minimizing the risk of air leaks or blockages. They are commonly used in ventilation systems for properties with larger or more complex layouts, such as commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Rigid ducts can be customized to fit specific dimensions and requirements, providing reliable ventilation solutions for various property types and applications.
Insulated Ducts: Insulated ducts are designed to prevent heat loss or gain and reduce condensation buildup, making them ideal for properties located in extreme climates or humid environments. These ducts feature insulation material, such as fiberglass or foam, which helps maintain the temperature of the air passing through them and prevents moisture from accumulating inside the ductwork. Insulated ducts are commonly used in residential and commercial HVAC systems to improve energy efficiency, enhance indoor comfort, and protect against moisture-related issues such as mold and mildew growth.
In conclusion, ventilation ducts are essential components of property ventilation systems, providing efficient airflow and air circulation to maintain a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Whether you choose flexible ducts for versatility, rigid ducts for durability, or insulated ducts for energy efficiency, selecting the right type of ventilation ducts is crucial for effective property ventilation.

I gotta say the Orwell quotes are getting way less snappy these days.
"the pandemic is over but covid is a leading cause of death" isnt as good of a soundbite as "war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength"

fear does have a scent to it tbh. a sort of sweaty, uncomfortable smell, sometimes with a hint of bile or blood, but only enough to be a suggestion. pain is more biological, the bile-blood-offal smell is much stronger and more unpleasant. in sickness they eclipse other scents entirely, and an often stale, layered sweat smell forms the undertone. sometimes there's also rot.

How to Keep Your Home's Indoor Air Quality in the Winter
A lot of people think of air quality when it's hot outside, but what about in the winter? In the winter, the inside of your home can be just as bad as the outside air. That's because, in the winter, the humidity levels are really high, and that means that all of the dirt, dust, and pollen from outside get trapped inside. This can make your home's air quality very bad. This article will outline tips on maintaining good indoor air pollution (IAQ) in your home during the winter. Here are five tips for improving your indoor air quality in the winter:

Five tips for improving your indoor air quality in the winter:
1. Ensure airflow is adequate
Airflow is a good thing! If there isn't enough airflow, things can get stagnant and cause unpleasant odors. To ensure proper airflow, consider installing fans throughout your home. Depending on the size of your space, a fan can range between $10-20 USD. Keep these fans clean, and make sure they're not clogged up with debris. You should check them at least once per year, if not more frequently!
2. Use dehumidifiers
If your area gets colder than normal during the fall/winter, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, keeping rooms dryer and warmer for longer. To prevent mold growth in your home, make sure to clean filters regular to avoid any buildup, and always maintain low humidity levels.
3. Clean your heating system
Heating systems are notorious for harboring bacteria and mold spores. Turn off your heater before cleaning or replacing your filter cartridge. Dispose of old filters properly, either composting them or throwing them away in trash bins. Also, keep your thermostat set to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Doing so keeps your house warm without adding unnecessary carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
4. Lighten the load
Keep curtains closed close to windows to block the sunlight during the day. When using lamps, only use incandescent bulbs and position them away from any furniture or appliances. Place lights no higher than eye level; otherwise, you'll have to bend down to reach them. Lastly, open windows whenever possible (even just small ones). A little fresh air goes a long way.
5. Ventilate the HVAC unit
Most homeowners don't realize that their central air conditioning units vent out hot air directly outside. This is especially true in the summer. While some people live in humid locations, others live in drier ones where air conditioners aren't necessary, yet still, work hard to cool the air inside. As such, you should regularly test your airflow rate. Remove the cover of your AC and look for holes near the vents. In these cases, airflow rates should be around 10 - 15 cubic feet per minute (cfm). If yours isn't working well, replace it with something newer and much more efficient (such as variable speed fans)!
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, you can do a few things to keep your home's indoor air quality in the winter. First, use a filter in your air conditioning unit. Second, ensure that all the doors and windows are closed when cold outside. Third, keep the heat turned up as low as possible during the day and turn it off at night. Finally, try to smoke outdoors as much as possible in the winter to help reduce indoor air pollution.

At rest, your lungs wish to deflate, and your ribcage expands outwards.
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#yiling laozu#Happy Friday the 13th!#This is scientific fact btw!#Ventilation operates through a series of active and passive forces#The active forces being muscular contraction with inhalation and exhalation having their own set of muscles.#but the interesting part is the passive forces at work:#The lungs have a certain level of elasticity to them - meaning the more they expand the more the those elastic forces are functioning-#-to try and return the system to rest (exhalation passive forces). Your diaphragm is the main force - pushing against the lungs at rest.#Your ribcage on the other hand is under a state of being pulled outwards. It *wants* to be as open as possible.#These to contradicting forces create a constant push and pull which assists in the ebb and flow of air. Most significantly with exhalation.#Now that being said - the primary action of inhalation ventilation is through control centers in your brainstem.#If you lose connection to that due to trauma you're going to need ventilation assistance.#Small note: Respiration is the cellular event of chemical exchange in the alveoli. Ventilation is airflow and pressure.#They are both important but also very different things. Sadly used interchangeably.#My anatomy nerd brain is screaming over the inaccurate ribcage...but its...recognizable. I will get it right one day.#Okay nerd rant over (I cut out a lot of stuff about pressure gradients. They are cool. To me.)#This is a redraw of an mspaint doodle I made back in april. I yearn to make the Yiling Laozu eerie as he deserves#Tear that bitch (affectionate) apart!#Been playing around with hatching for a while and its amazing how many styles there are! Not sure I'll stick with this one (but it was fun)
