I made this little dashboard that takes data from UKHSA and BuDs to show current Covid prevalence in a simpler format. Getting people to test is like pulling teeth! glowingskink947.grafana.net/public-dashb...

I will never understand the pushback of getting clean air (I mean, yes, I realize people fall for propaganda, but it's still unfathomable that people don't think further). We're all agreed on clean water, yet so many defend their right to breathe infected, polluted air?

As usual, I'll end with a link to the WHO director-general's speech: "The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about."

GO AQS Launches New Working Group to Develop the First Open Technical Standard for Low-Cost PM2.5 Sensors
GO AQS is excited to announce the launch of a new dedicated working group tasked with creating the first open technical standard for low-cost PM2.5 sensors (the electronic component). Target publication is set for 2027. Why Matters Air quality is dynamic. To capture localized pollution spikes, spatial variations, and real-time exposure, continuous, widespread measurement is essential. While low-cost PM2.5 sensors and monitors have expanded air quality monitoring globally, the market faces a core challenge: uncertainty.
