What I read about at the bottom of this article and my comment to it, too

I was reading an article by BU- School of Public Health titled: "Covid-19 in 2025: 'A constant threat, but a manageable one' " dated 3/8/25 (direct link to that article I'm referencing): https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2025/covid-19-in-2025-a-constant-threat-but-a-manageable-one/. The last paragraph and I quote word for word reads: "You can think of vaccines as powerful tools that can help you and your loved ones—no matter what your age—live a life that is freer from the awfulness of the diseases vaccines prevent. COVID-19 affects lung health, heart health, blood coagulation, fertility, and other functions of our bodies. The vaccines do not have these effects.”

My response to the above quoted word for word paragraph: 👆 Yes, Covid-19 negatively affects multiple parts of your body, however, I know people who have gotten the Covid vaccine and still got Covid. You still need to do exercise the well known precautions that prevent Covid (prescreen people PRIOR to coming into close physical contact with them), wipe down publicly touched surfaces/items PRIOR to touching them &/OR disinfecting your hand/(s) after touching with 70% or higher alcohol based hand sanitizer/hand sanitizer spray/hand wipes, wearing personal protective gear (face shields when indoor public places/covered outdoor places, face shield and mask when LOTS of people indoors, and masks when in close proximity to others/social distance when possible when appropriate), stay home when sick (unless you're getting sick remedies at the store or handling a banking transaction), cancel plans with others when sick/potentially contagious, and communicate to others in advance so they aren't blindsided if you may be sick/may be contagious.

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 ...

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...

2 Covid prevention tips

Image
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...
