Another update: Some more info on the work #TheMercury did with their #HVAC system, sent to me by the club's manager.

In addition to increasing the airflow through the club (which is essentially what the #CO2 monitor measures), the air going through the system also goes through filters rated MERV 13 or better, in-duct air ionizers, and then passes over in-duct UVC lights for sterilization. Restrooms are vented directly outside, instead of being cycled back into the club's primary ventilation.

They've done a _lot_ of work to keep the club and the community as safe as possible, and should absolutely be recognized for that.

And as a friendly reminder: The Mercury is an all-volunteer business, so when you come out, be sure to tip! The staff (including doorpeople, coat check, bartenders, and DJs) put a lot of their time and effort into the space; show your appreciation as you can!

Update: I went to #TheMercury myself for Caturday this past weekend, and stayed until just after midnight with my #Aranet4 #CO2 monitor, which gave a fuller picture. The good news is that given the situation (a basement #seattle #seagoth #goth dance club), I’m still pretty impressed with the Mercury’s ventilation. However, it’s worth noting that as the night goes on, more people arrive, and as the dance floor gets more use, even great ventilation can only do so much.

Starting at about 10pm the readings went into the yellow, and at 11:30 they’d crept up into the red, peaking at 1790ppm at 12:10 am.

I’m still comfortable enough to go out from time to time (though may more regularly make midnight my “pumpkin hour”), but I’ll also definitely be continuing to stay masked while I’m there until community #Covid transmission levels drop down (if they ever do).
