An easy & discreet way to social distance

 


Even when NOT using a shopping cart for what it's normally used for (carrying things), I've used it at Fred Meyer (a grocery & department store in one) when going to the Customer Service desk (even if nobody else is in line). Why? Because even if it's setup where you stand at the front of the line before you're called by the worker to help the next person in line (similar to in a credit union or bank), once you get there, someone else will come up behind you in line. That's where the shopping cart comes in handy as it'll block the other person/people behind you in line from getting too close to you.

When checking out when grocery shopping with a cashier, I keep my cart behind me when loading up the conveyor belt with my items to ring up AND keep it there until after I pay. Why? Because it keeps the distance from other customers from getting super close to me (I'm sure you've noticed rarely anybody social distancing).

How many others do this too? Publicaly comment to this post.

Did you know this over-the-counter Covid test expires quite a bit after its expiration date?

Image
  Back when the South Hill Library provided brand-new over-the-counter Covid tests, they had also provided slips of paper that mentioned expiration date extensions (basically that 15-22 months past the expiration date of the tests that they were still good for) and to visit a link for more details. So, I taped the slip of paper on each Covid test box for reference. Note: References to "I" in this post is Carly Calabrese, the founder & implementer of this Covid awareness & support blog that you're at.

Leftover different types of lung teas I took to help recover after I had Covid

Image
To assist with the long-term breathing problems I had when recovering from Covid, I took a picture of the leftover different types of lung teas I still have in my pantry (BELOW). I liked the "Lung Soother" (tea that's pictured in the middle of the other teas) best with regard to taste especially after letting it steep for awhile (when the taste of the tea intensifies) it's still good. These teas were bought off of Amazon. The price of the Lung Soother tea was in the $6 range. I have this leftover Mucus Relief Maximum Strength tablets (BELOW) from when I had Covid. I don't think they did much, but when I checked the expiration on it today (it's still good until 3/2025). I won't photograph other healthy breathing supplements (tablet form) that I took as I no longer have and besides I honestly think the lung teas (which are supplements as well) are the most beneficial. Be sure to follow the instructions for the tea/(s) you choose to drink. I also won't...

The Breather

Image
The Breather (BELOW) is a drug free way to exercise your lungs (I used several times a day when recovering from Covid). It has different levels of resistance that you work up to (similar to how one would when using hand weights when exercising). You can adjust the "inhale" and "exhale" resistance levels on the device to your comfort level. You have to wash the Breather daily with soap and water (I used dish soap & dish sponge) and you can wipe it down (however, letting it air dry like you would dishes, for example) lets it dry in the interior so when you use next you won't be sucking in water drops (when inhaling in & out). I could notice the difference when it was still wet on the inside (even when exhaling with the Breather if it was wet). There's a short video you can watch (paperwork including tracking your "reps" the amount of inhale & exhales [breaths] you take with the Breather to ensure that you're using correctly) that you ...
