It's about 4:30am. Just got out of bed to adjust my fan. Saw something crawling on the floor (assume a cockroach) and my animal brain just decided to make these sounds: "BUH DE BUH DE BUH DE BUHDE"

Look. I know I'm several years late. But I just finished season 4 of Orange is the New Black and my heart is in pieces.

This is fascinating stuff. The TL;DR is that pH massively affects the longevity of viruses in the air and the CO2 we breathe out makes the air more cozy for viruses. Therefore, poor ventilation is bad both for keeping viruses in the air and significantly extending their lifespan in that air! 🧪🦠

A UK research team has discovered that the more CO2 air contains, the longer viruses can stay alive in that air. This is a tranmission double-whammy: poorly ventilated spaces with lots of people in them increases potential viral load and longevity. [statnews.com]

A new discovery about carbon dioxide is challenging decades-old ventilation doctrine

CO2 is a good proxy for how much exhaled — and potentially infectious — air is in a room. New research suggests the more CO2 there is, the more virus-friendly the air becomes.

The replies are interesting cause my parents moved our piano from Malaysia to Indonesia and back again, then to the UK, and the cost of moving it has never come up in conversation. Like if it was extra expensive I'm sure my mom would've made sure to tell me so I would appreciate my piano more 😅

Sometimes I think I'm overreacting by arranging myself a sabbatical, and sometimes I have days like these where I feel pulled in so many directions and panicking about which one to start on.
