finally!! posted a giant "my COVID risk reduction approach" post

[brainwane]

I've been working on this for weeks? months? I finally published a giant blog post on how I reduce my risk of catching COVID. Includes:

• Air quality and ventilation: Specifics on the Aranet 4 carbon dioxide monitor, including a coupon.
• Masking: Some N95, N99, and P100 respirators you may not have heard of, with links to purchase.
• Self-testing (antigen and NAAT/molecular) and PCR: Links for some amazing sale prices on rapid tests, including more-accurate molecular tests.
• Nasal spray: Enovid, the wackiest thing in my post. I assure you that I have not turned into, like, an ivermectin user.
• Staying apprised: A new wastewaster data site.

Please check it out?

Enovid trip report -- when I was using it 4-5 days/week for prophylaxis in a classroom setting, it seemed to exacerbate some B12 deficiency symptoms I was independently having. (NO/N2O can affect B12 uptake.) Suspect is fine for most people, but something to watch if one is using it regularly.

Some studies demonstrated similar prophylaxis effects from iota-carageenan nasal spray; I have not gotten any to use as an Enovid substitute but am thinking about it.

Thanks!

I am updating the post to mention the B12 concern and to thank you!
