I wonder what you/readers think about indoor air quality as an accessibility feature.
It’s quite a topic in my other community (infection associated chronic illnesses & immunosuppressed people) with many people who still prefer not to be in spaces with poor indoor air quality, especially during high levels of covid.

I very sympathetic to people who care about high air quality and ventilation for health reasons!
By default, I often try to host events outdoors when I can, when the weather is good and generally try to keep spaces well ventilated.
I also think it can make sense to explicitly ask people who feel unwell at all to stay at home in communications prior to the event.
And I think it’s very reasonable for people with concerns to enquire with the hosts about things like this prior to the event!
I also think having some virtual events for those who might not want to or be able to attend in person events makes sense.
I might add something to the guide about this :)
