Covid-19 Awareness & Support

I was quite pleased when I went to my eye place for my eye exam this month. When I called to discuss things PRIOR to my appointment when booking, (their Covid protocols), the assistant manager called me back and we did a quick call to discuss my Covid requests PRIOR to my appointment. The assistant manager pre-screened the technician and Dr. that I would be with IN ADVANCE to my appointment (ensuring they weren't sick/around anyone that was sick), including other Covid protocols such as wearing a mask, having whatever I will be touching/using at my appointment to be sanitized, and the technician to have their hands sanitized (since washing hands is too much between the volume of patients they see and the Dr. to wash their hands before my appointment). The assistant manager even offered to wear a mask, check me out, and sanitized the pin pad I would be touching when checking out.   It's important to remember to NOT assume places you go to will be on the ball with all Covid ...

You can boost immunity by swapping sugar for honey, according to a study in pharmacognosy research. Honey compounds, like flavonoids and methylglyoxal, can support immune function and fight infection in a "This diet tweak freed me from eczema!" article in Woman's World Magazine (8/4/25 issue).

 Some other easy, quick, and inexpensive ways to prevent Covid spread: 1) I keep my Driver's License and account # card for financial institution in individual sandwich bags so that when it gets handed to the teller and then handed back to me. 2) I also grab future deposit slips at my financial institution when I'm at the drive-thru for future use because how one of my financial institutions has it set up is in ONE booklet that you have to tear off. By ripping off future deposit slips, that is LESS times I have to keep touching the ONE booklet in the drive-thru container that many others touch when doing drive-thru deposits and withdrawals. It also gives it MORE time to sit in my car (the ripped off deposit slips) until future use (more time to die if it did have any contagious germs on it). 3) Obviously going through the drive-thru at a bank or credit union reduces Covid spread and you don't have to wear your PPE (mask and face shield) 🙂 since you're NOT going near an...

Recently I was in a Safeway restroom and a young woman came in and was sniffling and grabbed a piece of toilet paper for her nose and I had to walk by her to grab paper towels to dry my hands on the way out. We didn't talk and I don't know her, but I don't know if she was sick. But, I felt more comfortable because I had on my mask and face shield.

A good price and quantity for purchasing nitrile gloves is from Costco. A box of 150 pairs are $14.31 with tax in Puyallup, WA ($12.99 before tax price when I last purchased 7/28/25). I've gotten them on sale for $9.99 BEFORE tax. They are great for the prevention of Covid spread . I keep the box in my front car seat so I can easily put on BEFORE going into the store, getting gas, OR when going through the drive-thru for my financial institutions when I have to touch the container you put your deposits in. I keep some of the gloves in my house and use for other non-Covid uses (i.e. touching cancer and reproductive harm items in my home, flaking a pre-cooked roast chicken, and putting on BioFreeze pain gel).

According to "Common  Knowledge" TV game show, you should wash your hands as long as it takes to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice .

I remember purchasing and reading this magazine shortly after Covid hit. I shared the magazine with 2 other people to read. Did you read this magazine, too OR what do you remember using to educate yourself about this new illness? Comment publicly to this post.
