It would be amazing if more public spaces placed CO2 monitors for the public to see as an accessibility tool (for people to judge how safe a space is in terms of picking up an airborne infection) but also as an interesting metric to have, like the temperature or humidity levels in an environment.

CO2 monitors are a really fun tool, but most importantly, they are really enlightening. Without a smell, there's no immediately obvious way to tell how good or bad the ventilation/air quality is. Of course, if everyone starts nodding off, it's pretty clear that CO2 levels are too high.

I'm still obsessed by how good the air quality was on that boat. Very impressive ventilation going on, making it very accessible for people with immunocompromised health problems and underdeveloped immune systems like infants/toddlers.

Failure to formally recognise Covid-19 as an occupational disease places the continued delivery of long-term sick payments needed by so many workers on a precarious footing.

We support ICTU in their calls to formally classify Covid-19 as an occupational disease.

Covid is spread through the air. It lingers in the air like smoke, often for hours in poorly ventilated buildings. To prevent long covid numbers from increasing, we must reduce the spread of covid infections. We must improve ventilation in our shared buildings and clean the air.
