Covid-19 Awareness & Support

Covid prevention tip #1:  Either have antibacterial hand wipes OR hand sanitizer spray OR gel (minimally on you at all times) so that you can quickly disinfect hands after touching commonly touched surfaces in public/NOT have to touch commonly touched surfaces in public (i.e. if you use the hand wipe as a barrier when touching commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs or pin pads at checkout). Well known brands for antibacterial hand wipes are "Wet Ones" and "Purell", of course store brand wipes work as well. Covid prevention tip #2:  To further support my point in Covid prevention tip #1, I was at Walgreens tonight and I thought I'd use the hand wipes that they provide in store since it'd be quicker to grab than my wipes in my bag (for wiping the shopping cart). I expected the first wipe or 2 to be dry, but even after grabbing a few, they were all so dry that I dug out my hand wipes (see photo below) that I got for the first time (first time I've eve

Covid was mentioned in a recent movie that came out this past July 2024, where the actor just casually mentions "something about a Covid outbreak" as part of the script in the movie. I was surprised, since I have NEVER seen a movie that discussed Covid in it (and I'm NOT talking about like in a documentary) just a regular movie. The movie that I'm referencing is "Couple's Retreat Murder" a Lifetime movie. Synopsis of "Couple's Retreat Murder:"   Trying to save their marriage, Becky and Jim head to a remote couple's retreat which just so happens to include Becky's ex from college. Things only get worse when one of the guests goes missing and their host is found dead, prompting them to wonder who else they are trapped with on this trip. Starring Jessica Morris, Rib Hillis, Natalie Daniels, Corin Nemec, and Alex Trumble. Have you seen any other movies that have referenced Covid in it NOT counting a documentary type of movie that would

Thank you for taking my advice from my previous post about using Fred Meyer brand antiseptic mouthwash. As a result, that specific size I showed in my previous post & flavor (mint) was sold out when I last went grocery shopping. I did NOT want any other flavor in the same size, so I asked the cashier if he'd honor the price of the small one in the next biggest size since they were completely out & I didn't want another flavor. I let him know that's never happened before. He said he would.                                                          The next biggest size mouthwash

Gargling with antiseptic mouthwash is a great way to kill germs in your mouth, the prevention of Covid, & keeping your mouth fresh! 🙂 It's recommended to rinse your mouth with this if you've been out/around others (NOT just when you brush your teeth) , however, I'd also add, gargle in your throat with this, too (up to 3 times) when you're rinsing your mouth after being out/around others. I dilute mine with water in my cup so it's not too strong, however, make sure you put enough mouthwash so that your mouth has that fresh feeling & it's  not too diluted with water. The (below) photographed size and Fred Meyer brand is $2.29 regular price at Fred Meyer. It really is an inexpensive, easy, & quick habit to do to stay healthy & fresh! 😊

When I last ordered a carry out pizza from Papa John's, I paid for my pizza over the phone PRIOR to picking it up in person to pay. Why? So, that when I enter the establishment, I can receive my pizza from the counter & leave quicker than paying at the counter & have a potential customer come up behind me & get most likely too close for my comfort (Covid spread).

My chiropractor asked me a great question: How I stay moisturized (since he knows I'm always washing my hands & sanitizing my hands) to prevent Covid. Here are some tips so that you can keep washing your hands & sanitizing your hands to prevent getting & spreading Covid: 1. Wear dish gloves when washing dishes (as you may know the more your hands touch water & soap, the more it'll dry out) to protect your hands. Plus, you can go hotter (the water) when rinsing/washing dishes since you've got gloves on which can clean them better. 2.  The (above) photographed body wash is the Fred Meyer brand body wash that I use for washing my hands (it can be regularly found on sale for $4.99 OR for $5.49 regular price). 3.  The  (above)  photographed body wash is sold at Fred Meyer & it also is sold in a green version (of the same bottle) with a label of "Notes of Aloe". I buy both scents & find it easy to use for washing hands AND in the shower as a bod

What is the definition of long Covid? The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, in June (2024) released a comprehensive definition of long Covid: "an infection-associated chronic condition that occurs after Covid-19 infection and is present for at least 3 months as a continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive disease that affects one or more organ systems." According to AARP Bulleting (September 2024 issue), according to that definition, 18 million Americans have experienced long Covid; currently more than 1 in 20 of us are living with its symptoms. Researchers have begun to link long-term Covid with another recent phenomenon: our shrinking life expectancy.  Some people that were interviewed by AARP Bulletin (September 2024 issue) that experienced long Covid: (All of what you're about to read is copied word for word from the AARP Bulletin (September 2024 issue): Chrissy Bernal has caught Covid-19 three times, most recently in October 2023. &q
