Since multiple ppl I know have covid rn, here are a few ways I’m avoiding covid if it helps:
1. shop at lesser known/specialty grocery stores so I can maintain social distancing
2. wear glasses which is proven to prevent eye-entrance of the virus
3. fought for staying remote when asked to “come to the office”
4. don’t travel internationally for fun anymore. I used to love travel & saw it as a mind-opening experience. How can it be mind-opening if there’s a risk of brain damage?
(Cont).
5. I’ll be tracking down those nasal-sprays that help with stopping air-borne viruses.
6. If any place is crowded, I leave. If I have to stay, I use an N95, which I have in every purse/bag.
7. I’ll still go out but only if there is outdoor seating several ft away from other ppl.
8. I have hand sanitizer in every bag & I use it anytime I touch anything from a public place lol.
Intense, but the great thing all humans are working on is survival, right? So survive out there ppl!
@carlysagan Re: #5, I've been treating the reports about nitric oxide sprays as credible. The only good source I know of is an Israeli Pharmacy, the product is called Enovid. Got a few bottles earlier in the year before the awfulness blew up over there but I've no reason to think they're not still shipping. It's a little pricy. I use it if I'm going to be spending time around people unlikely to be masked or to distance.
@carlysagan No, it's not appreciably different from saline or whatever, so nothing adverse or unpleasant. Other than the fact that I probably look pretty silly for a minute afterward as I tilt my head around and bend well over etc, to get it everywhere in those twisty turny passages.
@pieist Enovid, thanks! Will check it out. Is it irritating/painful to use? Definitely not something I’d use regularly but if there’s an in-person meeting or something maybe I would. Iceland is very anti-mask (bc beautiful ppl don’t want to mask idk? Lol) so that’s the main reason I want it lol
