A recent example of how the mask and face shield come in handy

Recently I was in a Safeway restroom and a young woman came in and was sniffling and grabbed a piece of toilet paper for her nose and I had to walk by her to grab paper towels to dry my hands on the way out. We didn't talk and I don't know her, but I don't know if she was sick. But, I felt more comfortable because I had on my mask and face shield.

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.

According to a Harvard Health blog article dated May 11, 2018, bacteria is multiplied from the bathroom air which dirties up your hands when you use the hand air dryers on your hands (with only minimal amounts of bacteria on the nozzles of the air dryers). According to this blog, researchers attached high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to the dryers, which would eliminate most of the bacteria from the air passing through the dryer. When they exposed petri dishes to air from the hand dryers again, the quantity of bacteria in the dishes had fallen by 75%. They concluded that most of the bacterial splatter from the hand dryers had come from the washroom air such as when toilets are flushed with an open lid. Carly's comment (the founder, implementor, & manager of this Covid blog you're reading): I'm ...
