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.

I don’t know at this point if you’re joking or you’re really this gullible and ignorant.
I’m going with choice number two.
By the way, who are ’they’? Those giant ants from that old  sci-fi movie?
May as well be in your crazy little world, huh.
So, they even had fake news back in the 60's??!
How'd they accomplish that?
You know, since there was no internet. Or cable. Or streaming.
And there were only 3 networks to choose from.
Boy, those deep state, military industrial complex, 'they', witches, chupacabras, leprechauns and eskimos were a clever bunch!
@phd
The only "fake news" is what comes out of that blowhards mouth.

@thecarpathian,
I agree with you, no sense beating that dead horse once again. Don't forget the aliens in Area 51. they are the biggest cause of the deep state.  ha ha.
.
Sorry, the aliens in Area 51 are the Deep Space State.
Please try to keep your conspiracies straight...
Here's the saddest part to all of this-
They think they're the enlightened ones and we're the ignorant masses.
@thecarpathian  let's give the government the benefit of the doubt for a moment and assume that since they started handing out the stimulus checks, that's when people started dying of natural causes. Everyday around 7,000 Americans die. Not from coronavirus, just die in general.

That equates to 420,000 deaths in the two months of stimulus checks.
If each of those people (not all of them were eligible mind you, but just for the sake of this argument let's pretend they were), received an average of $1,000, that would equate to 420 million dollars.

So where is the other 5.6 billion or so dollars?

Bottom line is you can't trust the powers that be to be accurate or honest.
