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.

au_leit, I'm taking a few notes my self along the way. I thought that some of you audiophiles were not that dumbed down. Why do you think the Democrats have spent countless hours trying to impeach Trump for 3 and a half years over false accusations like Russian collusion and many other charges when in fact that's exactly what they were guilty of. They had an insurance policy to get rid of him before he was sworn into office but they failed to impeach him on all accounts. How many times have they tried to kill him but failed because he was not protected by the secret service but rather the marine corp.If you look at the timing of the release of the Covid 19 virus it seemed like another progression for them to destroy the economy and destroy him. My mind works that way because I observe. The hoax is the virus is not as bad as they claim but if too many people believe that way, they will come up with something else to make it worse the ever.
@phd....(which I find presumptive...)

So....the conservatives rig the game to allow themselves to siphon off enormous amounts of cash, claim it's all the fault of the progressive/liberal excess.

Leave the wreckage for the p/l side of the equation to repair the damage, so the conservatives can run their scenario yet again...

Meanwhile, the status of any or all nations is subject to this cycle that generally degrades all of the societies involved.  This leads to conflicts, both political and physical (a.k.a., 'wars'), that leads to poisoning any attempts to 'get everyone on the same page' to keep from trashing the planet.

That's just ducky... :(
(If you don't recognise that 'handle', ask around....)

I've had enough of this and others for the night....
