Guidelines

• Wear a P100 respirator or N100 disposable mask in crowded areas, such as a plane or airport. They cost about $35 and deliver quickly. Here is one ampdot recommends.
  • Disposable P100 masks also exist.
• Get vaccinated, and get boosted. You should have your second booster, for a total of four shots. An updated vaccine is available as of October 1st.
• When running indoor events, purchase a HEPA filter. Target has same-day delivery for a small $5 fee, and you can return it afterwards. They reduce transmission by a five-fold factor. Alternatively, open some windows.
• Be mindful of going into crowded indoor spaces and consider wearing a mask if you visit them frequently. According to microcovid.org, a N95 mask reduces transmission rates by 3x, a surgical mask by 2x, and a thick and snug cloth mask by 1.5x.
