Covid-19 Awareness & Support

This past Thursday (3/13/25), I saw the following quick read article on LinkedIn regarding remote work. I wonder if these companies that want onsite/hybrid work schedules are following Covid protocols.

Studies have shown that fish oil (the supplement) can fight off Covid and it also prevents breast cancer. Nature Made (vitamin and supplement brand) is known to be Doctor recommended. Nature Made has a fish supplement that has one of highest strength dosage (2,800 mg) that I take. This supplement is an important supplement (to me) to take to NOT just fight Covid, but to prevent breast cancer (a history of it in my family and just with my mom being a survivor of breast cancer alone, I have an increased risk of it by approximately 4 times). Also, the front label of this container of fish oil states that it may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (my grandfather passed away from congestive heart failure) so another reason to be taking this.

When I went in person to get my car tabs this past month (February 2025) they had a stack of these flyers (image below) which are good reminders/tips for NOT getting sick.

In a Walgreens email newsletter that was emailed to me on 1/23/25 am, they were advertising their flu and Covid combination test that you can take and get results in 30 minutes or less for $24.99. They had a "Schedule" button as well. I'd also recommend just showing up to a Walgreens (in-person) and asking them about it if that's easier/your preference (i.e. some people don't like to book things online, etc.) Thank you in advance for sharing this post with others. You can share just this post to someone via email or on social media. Remember to immediately cancel plans and appointments with others when you become sick (NOT just Covid) and get tested ASAP (if you're not sure what it is/it's bad). BE SURE TO READ THE CARTOON IMAGE BELOW IN THIS POST FOR SPECIFICS. How many people remember having a sick rule at a past job (even BEFORE Covid?) I know I did. When I first started a pizza delivery part-time supplemental income job in 2014, I remember the owner d...

I found this premium hand sanitizer spray at Grocery Outlet. The brand is "Royce & Baxter" and it is 2 oz and consists of 85% alcohol and 0.1% Benzalkonium Chloride. I remember this hand sanitizer being $2.99. Remember hand sanitizer spray of 70% minimum alcohol is what you're looking for (that's what was promoted when Covid first hit). And the Benzalkonium Chloride is what I've seen in hand sanitizer sprays as well (even just that ingredient if no alcohol). This is my first time seeing both ingredients in a hand sanitizer spray.

I know I've posted about Wet Ones brand hand wipes and even Kroger brand (Fred Meyer store brand) hand wipes, but Walmart also has inexpensive hand wipes ($1.78 per container photographed below before tax). Walmart brand hand wipes   Information about Walmart brand hand wipes   What these wipes fight against  I know that it may be hard to read the Walgreens brand hand wipes canister, but these hand wipes claim to fight against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Haemophilus influenzae.                                          

When I recently went to Winco and used their restroom, the only option they have in their restroom for drying your hands is to use their hand air dryer. As I mentioned in a recent post, hand air dryers are to be avoided at all costs in any public restroom (I knew this LONG before Covid). I walked out of the restroom and was about to ask the worker at the pizza stand in the store for napkins when I saw they were on the counter (so I used to dry my hands on).  If you want to be extra cautious, you can grab the first napkin out and NOT use it, wipe down your hand that touched the napkin you did NOT use with a hand wipe (you should carry hand wipes OR hand sanitizer on you at all times) and then dry your hands off with the next set of napkins in the napkin dispenser/stack. WHY? You have no idea if some little kid (or anyone for that matter) put their scuzzy hand on the napkin and changed their mind and decided NOT to use it.
