Coronavirus - In the DR

You and me both. Reminds me of a meme I saw. Something to the effect that it’s a shame Covid hit during allergy season, because now I’m not sure if I have 5 days to live or just need a Claritin.
I get allergy on and off all-year-round. Very early on in the Covid crisis, I was all too aware that people were looking at me shiftily in public places.
You're kidding...right?

Never Mix Bleach and Vinegar: Here's Why
Mixing bleach and vinegar is a bad idea because it produces toxic chlorine gas. Here's what you should know about mixing these chemicals.

Yeah, I gave a couple of people's earth attack. I am proudly contributing to the death tolls.
I have written my will a couple of times to then realize I forgot to take my Zyrtec. 😀
Imagine my predicament with the COVID-19, once a year I get my allergic bronchitis attack where I cough excessively, constantly.
Just now got over it, but was coughing almost non-stop for a month and a half.
I had to fill my mouth with strong cough suppressors in order to do the shopping for my family of 8 here.
Scared the "hell" out of me, worrying if I coughed around the other shoppers.
No telling how they would have reacted.
I used to get something like that.. took Atarax and seemed to help. I never had any tests, I guess my doc went on a whim
lol.
Ain't that the truth.
I can go days without so much as the hint of a cough.
But I make a brief pit stop at my local Super C (bon, beau, pas cher) and I inevitably get that tickle in my throat. I feel the need to cough and the more I resist the greater the need.
So...
I cough discreetly (into my elbow) and watch the people scatter.
Sigh.
It's a whole new world out there.
17 days more, not the 25 asked for.

You have been in DR too long, outside of it, people are not infatuated with bleach at much (except for bathrooms).
I have been getting this allergy attack every year for at least 50 years.
Many times doctors have given me x-rays, never showed any problems.
Many, many years ago there was a medication I took that stopped it in ONE day, they stopped making it.
One pharmacist even tried to duplicate it for me, but it did not work.
I got all kinds of ailments going on. The human organism ain't built to last
I love chlorox...
for the toilet, the kitchen sink and to soak the dishcloth in a dilution.
I do associate the smell with squeaky clean but it's a little harsh for other household surfaces.

The irony of it all. All the Cab folks are bitching and moaning about bringing sick people here! Do they realize they're prob more people walking around positive infecting others than 100 times the capacity of that little hotel.
Well I exercise with my mask on. Though if I do errands (shopping, banks, etc.) where I know I will be around people for more than 30 seconds, I wear N95 mask (which then goes through multi step desinfection procedure). When I just go for a walk, exercise or quick pickup of something (basially no human contact) I wear surgical mask. Today I left for a walk ... without mask.. half a block from home I felt strange and realized I was missing the mask. There I went back to put it on. Guess one gets used to it after all.
You don't seem like the type to be out there doing and saying stupid $hit. Btw where does one get a good mask like that. Im using the 70 peso colmado special with a paper towel stuffed inside

My reply was in regards to a comment that said who was doing jogging/exercise with a mask on.
My N95s were bought off eBay well early on (early March) bought 20 for 40 dollars. I also bought locally some surgical masks at 25 pesos when they were still cheap. They all go through a cleaning process involving hydrogen peroxide, UV-C light, sun, and staying put for 5 days in a breathable paper bag or paper box.
There are still N95 masks being sold on eBay for about 5 dollars apiece, still cheaper than local price here.
P.S. the mask is only part of the equation, I wash hands very frequently when out and about, on every single opportunity there is a water & soup or sanitizer. Plus complete cleaning protocol when I get home. And of course keeping my distance and requesting others to keep distance from me.
