Neurotic womxn buys a CO2 monitor, replies are full of fellow neurotics with 😷 PFPs

The meter’s cruel readings began to haunt me. Each upward tick raised my anxiety; I started to dread what I’d learn each morning when I woke up. After watching the Aranet4 flash figures in the high 2,000s when I briefly ignited my gas stove, I miserably deleted 10 wok-stir-fry recipes I’d bookmarked the month before. At least once, I told my husband to cool it with the whole “needing oxygen” thing, lest I upgrade to a more climate-friendly Plant Spouse. (I’m pretty sure I was joking, but I lacked the cognitive capacity to tell.)

Well done for helping to reproduce the narrative that caring about clean air is crazy. That caring about not getting sick is crazy. Bravo - tweet

This piece undermines efforts to get better indoor air quality in public spaces and shops and restaurants by having them post CO2 monitors in public the way they do in countries like Japan. Why are you doing this? - tweet

Definitely better not to know. While you're at it: disable the smoke, carbon monoxide, and radon detectors in your home. Stop using sunscreen. Lobby regulators to prohibit severe weather warnings. Never get your blood pressure checked. No more dental check-ups. - tweet

Hi Katherine! Could you please take this down? - joeolivermd

I think this piece is incredibly irresponsible given the ongoing mass death and disability.

Covid is killing 1,000s a week and Katherine used her platform to paint CO2 monitoring in a negative light.

Yesterday I used a CO2 monitor and learned the Metro in DC has good ventilation. - tweet
