Ergo tip – 15min of standing for every 45min sitting
Research suggests that 15 minutes of standing for every 45 minutes of sitting is optimal for minimizing risks associated with sedentary work. Consider increasing your time standing to 15 minutes an hour.
Prolonged standing is arguably just as unhealthy as prolonged sitting and is not recommended. Postural variation is the key to improve your overall comfort.

Contextual explanation of breakthrough cases from Dr. Fauci
Thankfully, Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explained at the briefing that Americans are eight times as likely to contract the coronavirus if they are unvaccinated and 25 times more likely to be hospitalized or die. “An important point to bring up is that the greater percentage of people that are vaccinated, even with a high degree of protection, the absolute number of breakthrough infections might appear high,” he explained. “That’s not the critical number. The critical number is what is the proportion of the vaccinated people who, in fact, are getting breakthrough infections. And that’s the critical one.”
Put differently, as CNN recently did: “More than 99.99% of people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death.” More than 6,500 breakthrough cases as of July 26 may sound like a lot, but that means “less than 0.004% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough case that led to hospitalization and less than 0.001% of fully vaccinated people died from a breakthrough Covid-19 case.” And of those cases, three-quarters are among the elderly.
