Yes, it's a pity the wind tends to stand still when the temperature falls a lot. Even across a large country such as Finland wind speed is highly correlated.
So when it gets really cold it's a triple whammy of higher consumption, higher market price and (with a heat pump) lower efficiency. If that lasts long it's a problem.
It's better than last winter, but we are not there yet.

I tried a hood for a while. Indeed, it kills hearing (your ears are inside) and peripheral vision. And it has a much lower fit factor. In fact, I would wear a 3M Aura inside.
With the full face mask your ears are outside, so you can still hear well, and the impact to peripheral vision is less. You mostly end up with a blind spot downwards.
This combination has an APF of 500 (if it fits you well).

Excess mortality in the EU in July.
I's a mixed picture and covid is likely implicated, but Malta, Cyprus and Greece stand out, probably for a different reason.
"In July 2023, fourteen EU Member States recorded excess deaths and among those, the highest rates were observed in Malta (53.3 %), Cyprus (20.4 %), Greece (19.6 %) and Ireland (13.7 %). The high values for Malta, Cyprus and Greece are very likely related to the heatwaves in that month."

Besides the bizarre ethics, I can't see longtermists as even remotely rational when they downplay the risks of climate change, as to our best knowledge the distribution of outcomes in many climate change paths (including the one we are on now) contains even the collapse of civilisation with a non-trivial probability.

Os resultados são individuais, dependem da combinação da forma da cara com a máscara. É como a roupa, que serve a uns e não a outros, mas com as máscaras está bastante mais em jogo.
Eu testei 4 máscaras:
- Uma JEDX KN-95 FFP2 earloop que já não usava desde a primavera de 2021 por me parecer que não selava bem. Falhou o teste em segundos. Já ouvi isso de bastante gente e fiquei com suspeitas sobre earloop em geral.
- A 3M Aura 9330+ FFP3 com headstraps que passou sem problemas, e ainda uso. As 3M Aura aparentemente encaixam bem em muitas caras e são portanto uma boa opção para quem não quer testar.
- Uma Moldex 3200 FFP3 também com headstraps que falhou, mas só depois de algum tempo e com alguma movimentação. Deixei de usar. Uma pena porque o sistema de headstraps é muito práctico, serve para pendurar a máscara no pescoço quando não em uso.
- E a Sundström SR-200 (full face elastomeric) que também passou sem problemas e ainda uso. Essa foi um pouco mais chata de testar porque é mais volumosa com o filtro à frente e não cabia no capuz que usei inicialmente. Tive que sacrificar um balde de plástico e fazer-lhe um buraco para encaixar a saída do nebulizador.
A mim parece-me que a SR-200 tem um selo absolutamente incrível, mas precisaria de outra metodologia para aferir a vantagem sobre a 3M Aura.
Seria preciso fazer quantitative fit testing, o que já exige outro nível de equipamento.
Sou capaz de o fazer eventualmente...

I don't drive, because I viscerally realised in my early 20s I can't really do it safely.
I don't think most people can drive safely consistently. Over time I have grown more and more convinced of this.
I think the stats agree with me.
So I have wanted cars to drive themselves. And it will happen eventually.
As the population ages this will only get worse. I saw some of my father's last months' driving and it's a miracle nobody got killed.
But now I just want a lot less cars.
Yeah, by all means those that can't be avoided must be electric and self-driving will have benefits, including safety eventually.
There's the fact that we are running out of time to decarbonise, and can't replace smoking cars with non-smoking EVs fast enough. We need to have fewer cars driving fewer Kms.
But it's more than that. Cars suck. Car-centric use of space sucks. Car-oriented lifestyles suck.

It depends on how you define it, but even 1.5% is quite significant considering full recovery looks unlikely for those most affected, the odds of LC are repeated or even aggravated on reinfections, and people are getting frequently reinfected.
That's even before considering less well understood longer term risks as at least some people (maybe many) don't fully clear the virus and may be storing up trouble for later.
I'm going to leave you with Augie's list of studies covering increased risk of all sorts of conditions (including I bet many of the ones your friend doctors are concerned with) and damage to many organs and systems.
In case you ever want to look. You may also want to check excess mortality figures. People are still being harmed and dying as a result of COVID, beyond the accute phase.

You are right. There's acceptance too.
People have accepted the narrative they get from the "responsible" authorities.
"If it were really that bad they would tell us, they would not tell us to go back to normal".
Maybe they have accepted that a better world is not possible, which they have also heard a lot.
It does look to me though that many people are dismissing any attempt to call attention to the risks.
I get that a lot with people I know. "It's just another respiratory virus", "I'm vaccinated, it's just a flu now", "I had already".
With many I just stopped touching the subject.
But maybe that's just a coping mechanism or a quick answer to push back.

From where I stand, at this point I don't see much difference between the far left, the far right or pretty much anything in between when it comes to masking, reducing transmission or keeping health care safe. Unlike in climate action where there is clearly a difference.
Everybody found their way of dismissal and denial everywhere in the spectrum.
I don't see any will for collective action or solidarity in either. Leftists are apparently just as OK with the very uneven impacts of unrestricted transmission as the right.
Both left and the right are also quite vocal about what to do with our failing health care systems. None of it includes infection prevention.
In case you wonder, my politics are center-left, and I too imagined there would be more will and solidarity on the left. I don't see it now.

Não sei como são na verdade as curvas de degradação dos filtros. Deve depender muito do que anda no ar. E suponho que deve ser diferente para os vários componentes do filtro. Suspeito que o de carbono activado deve perder rendimento mais rápido.
Não sei o que o purificador está a medir para decidir quando acende a luz. Pode ser simplesmente tempo.
Na práctica teria que medir desempenho para saber.
Acredito que limpar o pre-filtro regularmente ajude a extender a vida. É o que tenho feito.

Sometimes I get the impression all they need to drop a bit further in any particular aspect is a precedent. Country X has dropped mask mandates in aviation? We need to do that too, or we are not competitive! Country Y has dropped them in health care? Perfect, we'll do it as well soon. Country W is recommending people get back to work after 5 days instead of 10? Let's do that too! Wait, country Z has dropped that altogether, fantastic!

Muitos desses bebês já estavam em perigo mesmo antes do nascimento, durante a gestação.
Para começar, tratando-se de um vírus novo, racionalmente deveria ter havido cautela. Não faltam exemplos de vírus que impactam o bebê durante a gestação - Zika é um exemplo.
Já sabíamos em 2020 que a infecção por SARS-CoV-2 é particularmente perigosa durante a gravidez. Não é preciso ser um gênio para ver também potencial maior para impactar os bebés.
Entretanto, os estudos a encontrar impactos nesses bebês foram aparecendo.

Very good. That episode was both fascinating and painful to watch.

Claro que não. Para além das baixas mais ou menos longas, vamos ter muita gente com problemas crónicos de saúde mais cedo, com vários graus de incapacidade para viver e trabalhar. Isso não sai barato.

Pois. Designaram os grupos em risco de frequentar os hospitais - ou as casas funerárias - como consequência imediata da infecção, na fase aguda, mas quem quiser olhar para além dessa perspectiva estreita vê que estamos todos em risco, uns apenas já têm menos saúde para perder.

Mesma história na FI. Actualização só para grupos designados de risco.
Não é que fosse fazer muito para evitar infecção, mas sempre salvaria algumas pessoas de ir parar ao hospital ou apanhar COVID Longo já na próxima rodada.
Máscaras de qualidade bem ajustadas, ventilação, filtragem, redução de contactos, sprays nasais (provavelmente), ... tudo isso continua a funcionar especialmente em combinação.

Yes. They are only cheap when you overlook negative externalities, most notably to the environment and health, and subsidies.

Tax aviation properly to help finance decarbonisation, reduce demand for flying and support more sustainable alternatives.

"This is the mask you wear when nobody else does" has crossed my mind a few times in connection with the full face elastomeric respirator I wear in shared indoor spaces. I don't care enough about what others think to bother though.

Pois, dói admitir que estamos a ser levados no bico e prejudicados por quem tem responsabilidade de defender os nosso bem estar, ou que somos vulneráveis. Mas é o primeiro passo.

Entretanto habituei-me a esta condição, mas chocou-me bastante ter-me apercebido que neste aspecto que afecta a minha vida, saúde e vivência com os demais, já não existo na mesma realidade partilhada com a sociedade.
Um aspecto determinante disso é ter concluído que não posso confiar nos ocs, nem nas instituições de "saúde pública" no que toca a veracidade, enfoque e especialmente tom.
Já li e ouvi tanta informação claramente contrária ao melhor entendimento científico do momento, e ao bem estar das pessoas, que neste momento não acredito em absolutamente nada que não possa comprovar em artigos científicos revistos. E em caso de dúvida ou lacuna, aprendi a tomar decisões com base numa leitura pessimista, e raramente me arrependi.
Isto claramente não é maneira de viver.

If you value at all having a habitable planet for your children and grandchildren you really must reject right wing parties practically everywhere, regardless of what your politics are any other issue. It really is looking that stark.
Sadly, that's not how people vote.

No they don't. I think the far right really is getting fuel from opposing climate action, and then mainstream right is trying to benefit from that.

I think it varies by country.
Here in Finland the immediate factor resulting in a right wing government including far right nationalists seems to have been anxiety over public finances in a climate of economic uncertainty and hardship. The media was saturated with fear and blame on the previous government in the months leading to general election. It worked spectacularly well. Has been eye opening for me. I reckon that effect is largely temporary. It's a perfect storm of high inflation, crazy energy costs and rapidly climbing interest rates, that is dissipating.
The nationalists are vocally for backtracking on climate action claiming Finland is doing too much in comparison to other countries. The right is too happy to be in power to really care.
It is also clearly a polarising issue for the nationalists and that bleeds into the center-right, particularly in opposition to the Greens who sadly lost a lot of support. That started before the economic crisis and seems to be due to a complex combination of factors, incluinding being in government, having progressive politics in addition to environmental priorities (so a perfect target), tactical voting, and yes, to some extent being perceived as expecting too high personal sacrifices for the environment. Much of that is probably not temporary.
In Spain, where I vote in general elections, I think economic hardship played a smaller role. Vox overplayed their cards, pushed really hard on extremely reactionary social positions , fortunately crashed in the polls, ruined the PP's chances of governing with any latitude or at all and seems to be eating itself now.
I don't think the climate was a big factor in the elections, even during a heat wave. That is depressing in itself.
It is a polarising issue though. PP+Vox have formed local governments and have done things like removing bicycle lanes which seem to be designed as a provocation.
Hard to say what happens next.

No doubt. Some people are still fighting, but collectively we have capitulated. We have accepted repeated infection with all the acute and chronic damage it entails.

Yes, as with Covid, things need to get worse before people embrace change.
With the climate, people in developed countries in particular haven't felt the danger viscerally enough. That's coming though.
