1. The spring surge continues. Cases are rising fastest, of course, with hospitalizations lagging, and deaths lagging further.
And Vermont has the highest per capita case rate of any state (behind only Puerto Rico).
2. Outbreaks are happening with group gatherings.

3. “The Big Meter” can help you avoid hosting an outbreak.
Increasing the fresh air in a building, particularly in this mild spring weather, is one of the easiest ways to reduce the covid-19 risk. The word is starting to get out.
Fresh air (or lack of it) was on display this week at the Better Buildings by Design conference and show in Burlington, Vermont, using our Safetulator Fresh Air Meter.
On Wednesday at 6:45 am, the level was looking good, “in the green”, when few people were in the room.
But by 8:20 am, the reading was in the "red zone," indicating lack of fresh air to dilute any covid-19 virus that was present. This gave a good demonstration, showing what happens with a fixed amount of fresh air ventilation that does not increase when more people are in the room.
To get one of these meters, properly calibrated per CDC and WHO recommendations, email (safetulator@kohlerandlewis.com) or call Suzanne (603-352-4828)—the price is $229, including shipping.
