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 can appreciate your thoughts on Bill Gates and yes he and other wealthy business men have contributed a great deal of money towards this vaccine with great enthusiasm and I only need to direct your attention to the Georgia Guidestones and what they have to say about keeping the population under a certain percentage. I don't need to watch the main stream news to get my information, they are just another arm of the deep state to keep America dumbed down.

The reason that this country has more reported cases of corona virus is because they have been labeling a lot of deaths as Covid 19 to drive the numbers up and the hospitals have been paid thousands of extra dollars to do so. A nurse (whistle blower) from a New York hospital has confirmed this to be true. Why, because they want to keep us in a lock down right up to November 3rd elections so that most everyone has to do mail-in ballets as this opens up mass fraud.
The reason there are different camps here is because many people believe this virus does not exist and is a form of psychological warfare that has become the biggest hoax ever committed on the world population. And then there are many people that think that this virus is no worse then the common flu but more contagious. You can make up your own mind.
There was the request and "need" for many more respirators. It was known that once patients were put on respirators there was a much higher likelyhood of death.
phd,
Wow. And you’re a literate, functioning adult?
Please direct yourself to my previous post....
Glupson, people are becoming ill from over-using masks because they are causing respitory conditions.
