![]() As a result, some people in the Quiet Speculation’s Discord channel asked why I didn’t use something like Trade Routes from Quiet Speculation’s Trader Tools to find the best buylist prices on some of the cards. First off, my first buylist order to Card Kingdom was featured in Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em #16. However, this buylist was a bit different than previous buylists because the process I used changed. The two series will work together, as when interesting categories pop up when I write for the MTG Metagame Finance series, this series will give me a chance to go a little deeper on those topics.įor example, in Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em #21, I featured another buylist order to Card Kingdom. I decided to start this series to focus on more general aspects of MTG finance. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective. Is it safe to take a taxi cab or rideshare?īeing in a small, enclosed environment like the cab of a car can lead to high risk of infection if your driver (or customer if you are the driver) is infected with COVID-19.This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. ![]() Your risk can be reduced significantly if you wear a mask and insist that the driver (or customer) wear a mask and you leave two windows at least partially open open during the trip. If the ventilation system is used, make sure it is set to outdoor air, and not to recirculated air (which would allow exhaled breath to accumulate). Since exposure time is important, shorter trips are better than longer trips. ![]() Try to avoid trips in a city during busy traffic times. Ventilation of the cab also increases with car speed, and so avoiding heavy traffic that leads to prolonged stops is safer, even when the windows are open. Modern, large airplanes have very good ventilation and filtering. The risk during the flight is mainly from the people right next to you, which can be reduced by mask wearing and talking as little as possible. We recommend airlines that strictly enforce masking and leave the middle row empty. The boarding and unboarding process tend to have less ventilation, and thus mask wearing is especially important then. Smaller airplanes used by regional airlines are less well characterized in terms of ventilation. Often a significant fraction of the risk may be due to waiting inside the airport, taxi and bus rides, etc. Unfortunately schools typically fulfill many the requirements for efficient virus transmission: indoors, crowding, low ventilation, close proximity, long duration, unmasked, talking/singing/yelling/breathing hard. Ventilation rates are often low, as shown in the figure below. There is a lot of debate about how well children transmit the disease, with some evidence that younger children transmit it less well, and older children transmit it as well as adults. But schools, if not modified, are also the perfect situation to transmit it, which may make up for lower inherent transmissibility. Per the precautionary principle, schools should only operate in person if the levels of infection in the community are low. It is imperative to implement several layers of protection, most importantly operating outdoors whenever possible. For class periods indoors, increased ventilation, masks, maintaining distancing, reducing the volume of speech, reducing density are all important. Monitoring CO2 levels and making sure that they stay below about 800- 950 ppm is useful to make sure that the ventilation is sufficient.
