  1. On the trip described above, I didn't get catch #Covid or any summer flu. I think it's far from perfect and there was a lot of luck involved, but if anyone wants to know, here's what I did:

    Packing: #FFP2 #masks, nasal spray (#enovid), and a portable air filter (#smartair qt-3 with filter sealed with tape)

    The masks are the same that I wear at home. They seal tight on my face and are comfortable to wear. I wore them everywhere inside, except for in my hotel room / sleeping compartment. We ate outside on an airy terrace at the beach hotel, but the buffet was inside. So I put the mask on to go inside to get some food, took it off outside to eat, and put it on again to get more food. That felt silly on the first day, but then I got used to it. Nobody cared at all, and I felt good. I had a mask with me at the beach and pool and put it on when I went inside to go to the bathroom.

    To keep things simple, I usually only differentiate between "inside" and "outside". But I also put a mask on outside when there's a crowd and the air is not moving (hello Corfu Old Town). I wear the mask inside even when there's hardly any other people there because I cannot see into the recent past or future. I don't want to fumble with putting on a mask in a hurry if a bus load of people suddenly spills into the hotel lobby or shop (That's the same as I do at home anyway).

    You need large-ish #pockets to always keep masks handy. There's gender divide between those of us that get hardly any pockets, and those that get an overabundance of pockets. Consider this and maybe adapt your wardrobe.

    I had brought the air #filter to put it on the table in front of me if we had to eat inside. We always ate outside except for the ferries and the trains. For the first dinner inside, I forgot the filter in our room and decided to eat without. I wore a mask, took it off to eat and put it back on as soon as I was done eating (I did not hurry). Afterwards I used the nasal spray. I stuck with this procedure for the other ferry and the Frecce trains. So I actually did not use the air filter much.

    At the beach hotel, I covered my skin with sun screen every morning in our room. Then I walked down the stairs without a mask, because my face was still drying. The windows in the stair case were always open except on one day, because the cleaning staff would usually open them around that time. It was luck how many people I would meet.

    On the sleeper train, the attendant sometimes knocks on the door. I opened the door without putting on the mask first. On the trip back, I hung the mask over my glasses while I slept, so I would remember to put it on.

    I had wanted to get a mobile #CO²
    monitor to assess the air quality in rooms/compartments. We have some at home from the early pandemic days, but they are not good. I did some research, decided that the #aranet4 is probably still the best, and completely forgot about it. The day before we left, I remembered, but there was no way to buy one so quickly. So unfortunately I cannot report on the air quality for instance on the trains. I would have loved to share this information, because I searched for it beforehand, but couldn't find it. There's lots of people posting their CO² numbers from airplanes and meeting rooms, but nothing about sleeper cars.

  2. Hey #CovidIsNotOver people! I start a new job tomorrow (fully in person) & am a little nervous about keeping myself safe. Here’s what I’ve got in my toolkit:

    1. #3MAura and #VFlex #N95 #Respirators
    2. #Hepa purifier for my desk
    3. #Co2 monitor
    4. #Enovid #NONS nasal spray
    5. #CPC mouthwash
    6. #SipMask

    I’ll only eat outdoors, weather permitting; otherwise I’ll find a private room & run the purifier before unmasking. I will use #NasalSpray several times per day.

    Anything I’m forgetting? 😷

  3. Well, I finally went off the property to restock some groceries and wouldn’t be surprised if my #Envomask #elastomeric #N95 and dry-eye prescription glasses were all that separated me from a swarm of #SARS2 floating around the place. The only cashier on duty was hacking up a lung—she was fine the last time I was there a few weeks ago. I decided to embrace the self-checkout concept for a change and GTFO.

    Snorted some #Enovid and did an eye rinse for a little extra peace of mind. #CovidIsNotOver

  4. Who has opinions on Enovid enovid.us/? Their studies look very compelling but there’s not a lot of other info out there.

  5. Enovid/Virx/SaNOtize Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray on the way from Israel.

    While it wasn't cheap, I consider it one more tool in the kit to fighting Covid-19.

    I am hopeful for Canadian regulatory approval soon.

  6. Hi friends! There’s a great deal going on at Israel Pharm right now for #Enovid spray, which is highly effective at stopping #Covid viral particles from spreading to the lungs in case you’re exposed

    Normally it can be as much as $70-150 for a bottle, but with this coupon code you can get $50 off your order: ref2238209

    So 1 bottle for $20, 2 bottles for $120 if you want to have a spare just in case (which is what I did)

    You do not need a prescription!

  7. Wearing an #N95 works. My partner started having cold like symptoms a week ago today (last Sunday). She was prescribed prednisone on Wednesday due to extreme sinus pressure/pain. All negative #RAT tests. Her symptoms have only continued to diminish.

    On Friday (day 5) she took a combination #COVID #RSV #Influenza #PCR. Results came back late last night: RSV!

    I’m so grateful she is only improving. I may have dodged it (?!) and I will thank my thrice daily use of #Enovid #Sanotize if so!

  8. 3/3 And for more frequent use, I’m using Iota-Carrageenan, such as in BETADINE Cold Defense Nasal Spray. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/346298

    BETADINE Cold Defense Nasal Spray. Milder & also promising studies. $16 to $23 delivered & also good. (No need for a group order of this one, they can be ordered as singles.) a.co/d/etnbmsL

    Anyone in the East Bay Area who wants to split an order of Enovid, DM me.

  9. 2/3 Details: In LARGE doses Nitric Oxide [NO] (the active ingredient in enovid) is a bad idea because it can damage tissue. But in small doses it appears to be an effective antiviral for respiratory viruses. So for me personally, I might use it for a special high risk situation as part of a layered approach.

  10. #CovidCautious friends! If anyone would like a coupon code for $50 off #Enovid #Sanotize nitric oxide nasal spray (#NONS) please comment and I will DM you the coupon!

    Including shipping, the regular price would be $70 for one bottle (~60 doses); so with $50 off it would be $20 USD, shipped from Israel.

    I’m so excited to finally be able to afford to add Enovid to my #CovidZero #PPE toolbox 😷💉❌🦠❌

  11. My #pandemic #PPE kit for first eye exam in 4 yrs:

    1. #Envomask #N95 #elastomeric. Fit tested 100% seal, even w my close-trimmed beard.

    2. #Enovid anti-viral nasal spray, used before & after.

    3. Sealed goggles when not getting actual exam.

    3. Bausch & Lomb eye wash, to flush out eyes immediately after.

    4. Hand sanitizer & mouthwash, because why not.

    Also: N95 masks to bring for staff who graciously agreed to wear them for me.

    “Everyone’s had #Covid by now.” No, I haven’t. This is why.

  12. I'm starting to hear that this Enovid stuff actually works. It seems like it might be a thing. Anybody else hear anything? #COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #Enovid

  13. In #covid19 news, I want people to know that there has been a clinical trial that shows this nitric oxide nasal spray has some efficacy as a prophylactic against Covid.
    Apparently the virus needs 1-2 days to penetrate yr nasal membranes, but if you can kill much of it before it does, you will reduce the viral load. Not a hoax.
    It’s called #Enovid. Saline solutions help too, tho not as effective. You shd still mask, get vaccinated.
    Trials still ongoing. You can buy it online. Check w/ yr Doctor.

  14. It'll be cold tonight. My husband asked if I'm still against dining indoors at a restaurant for Valentine's Day. I have our Enovid spray bottles. What say you, #MedMastodon?
