What you need to do if you test positive for Covid-19

I had on my usual maximum protection re-usable mask with filters (my first mask I got when Covid first hit over 5 years ago) and she smiled and came by to chat with me on her way out.

I bought this today, (Mon. 9/22/25) at Costco to have "just in case" (chicken soup is great for when you get sick: colds, flus, or Covid). It was $6 off ($7.99 total with tax) regularly $13.99 for 8 cans. Below is a photo of the specs for this healthy and tasty chicken soup Remember when Covid hit for the first time and everyone was stocking up on things? Well, the only thing I stocked up on was chicken soup during that time. Did anyone else do that, too or did you stock up on other things? Comment publicly to this post your answers.
