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.

Lighten up, Moops, didn’t the Quakers let you have any fun growing up? ☹️
"This thread is a huge embarrassment for audiophiles..."
Should we start another fuse thread?
I know. Some are more comfortable than others with embarrassment and spinning alternate realities out of desperation to justify their cause when that is all they have.

I’m comfortable with your embarrassment, honest injun! 🌽 🌽 🦃 🦃

That was an incredible post and I would like to thank you for risking your own life to help others afflicted with Covid-19. Thank you for explaining to those in denial, or blinded by political allegiance, why we ALL must take this seriously and do our part, which includes sacrifice, to bring this virus under control.

I apologize for jumping on you. After reading all the posts I see that geoffkait started it. ("Are you out of mind? And try to write in complete sentences, glubby. Even better, don’t write at all.")
