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.

stereo5,

"I find it discouraging that almost all the other major countries have this virus under control while cases are rising rapidly here."
I assume that by "here" you mean U.S.A. Well, "under control" is a very stretchable term and, even if we consider Brazil a minor, Europe is on the edge with "control".

"Most of the governments in the other countries got ahead of the virus in the beginning, our government denied it even existed."
Not one gevernement has actually gotten ahead. Some were quicker to respond, that is for sure, but everyone has been quite lost.
phd,

Regarding masks,
"Again people are becoming ill from them. "
How exactly? What is happening?

I do agree to some extent. I am sick and tired of them.
isochronism,

"Professionals are publically speaking out that the vaccine is designed to make recipients MORE susceptible to contracting the virus!!"
There are multiple vaccines being developed as we write this. Which ones are designed that way? Not all of them, I would guess.
Against a stupidity that is in fashion, no wisdom compensates.
I’m going to go on the record stating to whom this applies won’t understand it....
