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.

phd,

"Glupson, people are becoming ill from over-using masks because they are causing respitory conditions."
I get that part. What I am interested in is what conditions and how?

On a different, and way more relevant note here, I am curious which side of the cable burn-in debate you are on. Is it a conspiracy by manufacturers, or is it just a simple phenomenon?
I get all these ideas about election fraud and so on, but do they have elections in Italy and Spain this fall? Anybody knows?

I have been looking into buying some Italian goods so am worried I may need to change. All audio related.
glupson,
For him to answer that, I believe you should stipulate flat cables.
I’m certain he doesn’t believe cables are round...
Also you’re in the clear with Italy and Spain.
2023 for Italy and Spain in 2019.
Now the bigger question is elections in Austria and how will it affect torte production...
This is your homework assignment, please tell me why almost two million people marched on Washington DC back in 2013 demanding Obama's resignation and not one news media reported it as if it never happened.
