      If anybody was likely to take the ventilation thing to heart, it was always going to be the Germans. Just got this, from a hotel in the Black Forest, which surely warms the cockles of @zeynep’s heartpic.twitter.com/NnshRJ4tNM

      👀I am waiting for that article on how Durchzug culture of Europe (and Middle East!) is adjusting to all this. It's in some ways not incompatible, at least parts I'm familiar with: airing out is seen as healthy, but leaving windows open risks the drafts/Durchzug so what happens?

          I was just telling my fam about the irrational German lunacy of discriminating some kinds of air... pros at Lüften but even in a medical center mess hall my request to open window met grumbles - it'd 'blow stuff around.' what stuff? napkins? and forget a healthy breeze on a train

          personally I think it goes back to some truly medieval nonsense quackery about evil vapors, thinking the moving air is a sentient, malevolent entity, out to get you + your child if you don't put a hat on them real quick. a land of both cutting-edge science and utter superstition

          We're 14 months into this pandemic and the woman in front of us on the bus just wrapped her hand in a plastic bag (to protect from germs) so she could close the window and stop fresh air from circulating.

          My German great-grandmother told me that I should never leave a window open at night but my mom thought that was because of concerns about poison gas in World War I. Not really the kind of stuff a 7-year-old should think about; sometimes this world is hell.
