#CovidIsNotOver
Understanding Covid Covid is not a period of time in the distant past. Covid is not a fad that tastemakers could declare as over and done on a whim. Covid is SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), a highly transmissible airborne virus responsible for the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that was first identified in late 2019. It has been known as Covid-19, hCoV-19, the 'rona, "mystery illness," and the coronavirus. Millions of people have died from the acute infections, hundreds of millions of people have been disabled or debilitated as a result of one or repeated infections, regardless of intensity of initial symptoms. Countless people have died from conditions which may have been triggered or worsened by the impact of one or more Covid infections. The virus continues to spread widely and mutate due to the abandonment of virus mitigation tools and it continues to impact humans and wildlife around the world. Find out almost everything you need to know about acute Covid infections and post-infection complications such as Long Covid and neuro-vascular damage. Help fight dis/misinformation by identifying Covid myths and minimizing techniques. Discover how Covid spreads through the air and what you can still do to reduce the spread of Covid indoors. Menu items include: What to Know About Covid Infections Post-Infection Complications Long Covid Covid Impact on Pets / Wildlife Kids and Covid Debunking Covid Misinformation Covid is Airborne Resources

Covid-Safe Mitigation and Risk Assessment Since Covid's emergence on the global scene in 2020, we've been encouraged to do our own risk assessment. In the intervening years, the public health tools for gauging risk—widespread testing, case tracking, and vaccine maintenance—have largely dried up or have been made inaccessible to the general public. For those of us who have not run out of our abundance of caution, there are several methods of virus mitigation still available. Whether you're a hardcore holdout or ready to avoid reinfection, we've accumulated a variety of resources to help you stay as Covid-free as possible under the circumstances. Learn more about the variety of respirators and Covid tests, sort out some confusion over vaccine efficacy and availability, and discover burgeoning virus mitigation tools. Find out how CO2 measurements relate to Covid risk and what you can do to filter the air you breathe. Track available Covid trends in your region and calculate your risk in certain environments and situations. Learn how to prepare for and protect against future infections with guides from experts and folks with firsthand experience. Menu items include: Respirator and Mask Resources Indoor Air Quality Guidance CO2 Monitoring Additional Mitigation Tools Testing Vaccine Information Precaution/Mitigation Guides Infection Preparedness Covid Trends/Forecasting Variant Tracking Risk Assessment Calculators Wastewater Surveillance Covid Wastewater/Data Tracking

Fun* games to play to boost awareness of virus mitigation techniques
Bingo card filled with Covid prevention action items ranging from stocking up on respirator supplies and changing filters on the air cleaner to recording CO2 readings for indoor CO2 tracking maps and contacting local representatives about issues regarding clean air devices, mask bans, and vaccine eligibility. Also includes action items involving contacting local businesses regarding curbside pickup, CO2 monitoring, clean air devices, and Covid-safer event policies. Cootie Assessor game based on the paper cootie catcher or fortune teller games to print out and fold. This game features a variety of masks and respirators as well as Covid/virus mitigation tools such as air cleaners, testing, far-UVC, vaccines, mouthwash and nasal spray, hypochlorous acid, and hand hygiene. The inner flaps have messages that reveal the situation the player is in using the mitigation items they chose. The innermost section contains a series of CO2 monitors based on the Airvalent with ppm readings correlating with the color and emoji faces on the monitor displays.
