Welcome to my Covid Awareness & Support blog

This is another reason why you don't want Covid

Today I spent 27 minutes & 40 seconds on the phone with my bank explaining my situation with a medical clinic that I visited a year and a month ago due to consulting about breathing flare ups I had 10 months after I had gotten Covid (the ONE and only time). Basically, the medical clinic I went to (and have gone to in the past and had never had problems with) decided to contact me last month (over a year from when I went to this medical clinic) that I have a $160 bill because my insurance didn't cover anything. (Yes, I had ensured my insurance was going to cover it as well as when I called my insurance about this bill, they were basically informing me that a provider (the medical clinic I went to) has one year to bill with them (it was past a year when they did) & to contact the medical clinic and find out if they billed improper medical codes because if they did, then it's their responsibility to correct it. When I contacted my medical clinic's billing department ab

Covid cases at restaurants

I  inadvertently came across this article online (I know it's not recent), but this is helpful information:  https://www.thenewstribune.com/entertainment/restaurants/tnt-diner/article244237242.html I signed up for their newsletter (yesterday) so I can't say yet if they still regularly send out restaurants that have reported having 2 or more Covid cases from workers at their restaurant (that was their requirements according to this article). If someone knows of another place we can go to see Covid cases reported at restaurants that's more current, please share in the comments section of this post. Thank you! 🙏😊

Another way to fight Covid & more

I love using this Lysol laundry sanitizer that has 0% bleach and kills Covid, cold, & flu viruses. The one pictured below comes in that size as well as a bigger jug with a handle (similar to the size of a big liquid laundry detergent container) at Fred Meyer. I like the smell that this one pictured comes in which is "Crisp Linen." The "Free & Clear" scent in this same brand has no scent if you don't like scents and/or don't like the "Crisp Linen" scent. They also have the same product called "Sport" which I've never used. I wash all my laundry with this sanitizer. FYI (for those who don't know), you use it in addition to your regular laundry detergent. You put your regular laundry detergent (however you do) then fill up to the first line (this laundry sanitizer) on the lid with the lid and pour into the area in your laundry machine that has the agitator (that swishes your laundry) and then fill again a second time to that

Another obvious way to eliminate getting Covid when traveling

Even before I read this fact in the latest Woman's World Magazine issue (see image below) if I planned on traveling this summer, I would be driving to lessen my chances of getting Covid.  Save money AND lessen your chances of getting Covid? Win-win! 😊

Who knows how to really win at Covid? (Meaning one of the BEST overlooked tips to GREATLY minimize risk).

Having had Covid the ONE and only time & learning how I could've prevented getting it (after knowing how I got it), is by asking those pre-screen questions that were asked at many businesses the first 2 years of Covid. As I mentioned in my welcome video, I modified those pre-screen questions to ask if the person/people you're going to be near are sick of any kind (defined as a cold, flu, Covid-19, & anything else that's NOT listed here that's contagious) AND/OR been around anyone that they (are aware of) that's sick of any kind (as defined here) AND/OR has anything contagious (outside of my definition of sick of any kind) AND/OR been around anyone that's contagious (outside of my definition of sick of any kind) within the last 14 days for all of what's been asked here to consult with me ASAP BEFORE my appointment (even if anything changes after I arrive, consult with me from a safe distance). Why is it important to ensure you ask if they are sick of

Lysol air sanitizer spray

This 14-second video I shot is of the Lysol air sanitizer spray commercial (BELOW):   According to the blue colored (white linen scent) Lysol air sanitizer spray (the one shown in the video above) it's rated 4.5 stars out of 5 stars out of 624 reviews in Google. On Amazon, it's rated 4.7 stars out of 5 stars out of 1,338 reviews. (It claims to kill Covid-19 within 13 minutes. This is according to the back of this product [the blue colored-white linen scent] that I read). I discovered in my research that there are 2 other scents for this same product; there's a purple colored one (light breeze scent) that's rated 3.8 out of 5 stars out of 4 ratings on Amazon.  There's also a turquoise colored one (simple fresh scent) which is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars out of 734 reviews. I bought the blue colored one (white linen scent) from Walgreens without doing any research & provided to my chiropractor to use prior to my appointments with him. Has anybody else used any of th

The best seat to sit in on the airplane to avoid germs

According to a "free gift" paper insert with various tips & facts from "First" Women's magazine as well as a 2018 study from Emory University, the window seats are the safest seats from germs.  The window seat makes sense for having less germs so if you're going to have to fly, keep this seat choice as an option. 🙂
