CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

@ozzy62, your post has been reported. I will not take any of your BS
Yeah, you reported MY post after you edited YOURS. Real nice, Nancy....


This a lose/lose scenario. Health versus economy. Individuals are affected differently and will have different views on what’s best for themselves and others.


We are where we are currently ie better off than otherwise because of the preventive measures taken.

You can’t look at the results of the preventive measures then say those measures were not needed.

We should all now understand why blind libertarianism does not work in cases like pandemics where what everyone does affects everyone.

As things open back up we will see how things go. Everyone knows more now than they did when things started and that is the big difference that hopefully moves us forward and not backwards from here.
Audiogon owes him for his many years of work for which, evidently, he didnt receive a salary nor any benefits. 
Also I think that the solution is to err on the side of caution. Choose the solution with which the fewest people die. Are some actually suggesting that government imposed restrictions are the first step in some greater scheme to control the people? 
Oh and hopefully as things move forward we will be well guided by both science and facts not opinions or desires of any one person.
