(Originally posted to my GoFundMe earlier today, so I didn't bother to change the timestamp. This is basically copied verbatim (modulo formatting), including the fundraising stuff at the end; I *was* posting to GoFundMe after all. Feel free to ignore those bits if you want. Because of the admin issue noted in the post, the updated link to the fundraiser will be provided in the post itself.)

I don't have much in the way of "Links from all over" to post right now in the "SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 related PSA / traditional weblogging meets the usual begging post" series, so here's a relative quickie with one from a few months back that I think I just discovered this week.

The Astounding Physics of N95 Masks

minutephysics is a fun channel for me, even if it's not one I watch regularly. Anyway, since the link is about masks let me remind you again that whenever you're going into a building that's not your home, or going outside and expect to come within 10 feet of other people for more than a couple of seconds, wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth and make sure you're actually COVERING both your nose and mouth with it.

One last administrative note to wrap this up. GoFundMe changed payment processors recently and had to clone the old fundraisers from before the changeover. As a result, if anyone had bookmarked a link to my fundraiser, that bookmark points to the OLD fundraiser which no longer accepts donations and doesn't get new updates. So please bookmark the NEW (cloned) fundraiser instead! Here's the new link...

Thank you for all your support, and I'll catch you next week.
