Protections, tips and masks to prevent virus germs.
COVID has made things more difficult, especially for vulnerable people (elderly, asthmatic, various health issues, compromised immune system, lung issues, etc.). Even healthy people can die or have complications from being exposed to the virus, along with others, like RSV. There is no way to predict who will be affected, who will have no symptoms but may have long COVID symptoms or organ issues later.. Now we have more spread of RSV and Shingles as well.
Asians have worn masks for years. This virus is so unpredictable. to keep well from germs and to protect others from getting their germs, During the "Spanish Flu" a century ago, people all over donned masks to prevent infection from it. And here we are with COVID, doing the same in mass. We may see regular masking for preventing the common flus and colds from some people. I got fully vaccinated and didn't wear a mask everywhere, so I caught a bad cold from someone during that time.
Be kind to people - whether they wear a mask or not - let them be and allow them their choice. If you don't trust a maskless person, wear yours and keep your distance - that simple.
Vaccinated people are typically better protected, but not all at 100%. They can also spread the variants without any symptoms of sckness - masks could be worn more to prevent sickness and spread.
Bump up your immunity to help fight viruses and flu. You can't completely avoid it but it can help you deal with or fight it. Eat probiotics, mostly organic produce, avoid sugar. Take vitamin D, C (or eat more citrus), B complex, and zinc with quercetin. There are more foods and supplements that can help. Make sure to get good sleep and be active.
Beware of scam offers of vaccinations and testing. Many scammers are taking advantage of the situation. Call or find the websites of your local CDC or health admin, your doctor, nearby pharmacies (Safeway, Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, etc.).. Search vaccines.gov, or text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find locations near you in the US. (from a Google search and not an unsolicited link.)
We offer online shopping below, with products to help with COVID - masks, shields and protections. There are better masks than others but most any can work if worn correctly (and have layers you can't see through) and distancing from infected others.
Masks and/or face shields (see below) should be worn as safety accessories to both protect others from your germs and protect you from other's germs. If everyone wears a mask that covers the mouth and nose with a good seal, the germs won't travel as far toward anyone. Make sure any cloth masks show no light looking through them - always 2 layers of tight material, and preferably a filter inside. If you have homemade ones - make sure they are used safely as describe prior. Make sure there is a nose clamp, as well.
Cloth and reusable masks should be cleaned daily - just like underwear. The outside may have virus germs on so clean it in soap and hot water. If the disposable paper ones are to be reused a few times, put them out in the sun for a few hours to help disinfect them. I keep several on my car dash and put the last one used at the far side, while using the closest one (which has been in the sun the longest) the next time. I use the disposable ones when I forget my cloth ones (which has an opening to put a filter in - I put a blue shop towel piece in it) or if they aren't dry from washing. If using a face mask, clean the shield on both sides, daily. As the vaccination isn't 100% effective, it's hit or miss as to who it might not work well on. Variants keep challenging our protocols of prevention. My own neighbor was fully vaccinated and still died of COVID later. I have friends who were fully vaccinated and still got COVID (milder cases) but recovered completely at home with no doctor care. A vaccination is a good preventative - but not 100% effective, which means not everyone develops antibodies from the shot. You can get an antibody test from your doctor to see if your shot works for you. In times of diseases, many vaccinations were required - measles, mumps, rubella, etc. Because most people were required or willingly got the shots, these diseases have been in control from the population. The vaccine (except J&J) has no fetal cells at all - just as with many vaccines and medications, the testing line has used some of those cells. Some other vaccines have grown the virus in fetal cells (from aborted fetuses from the 60's - no more recent ones since then). Figure your best defense and be mindful of others and their defense paths. Everyone had a reason for their choices. If they do not want to be around you or others if unmasked or unvaccinated, be understanding, as many people have weakened systems from surgery or illnesses and cannot afford to get sick. PR
