When the travel bug bites, it’s hard to shake! The excitement of exploring new places, cultures, and foods can be such a strong pull. But if you’re planning a big trip, especially to far-off places, it’s good to be prepared with essentials like travel medications and vaccines. Places like Canadian Pharmacy offer a variety of resources to help you stock up on travel health supplies. They even have information on things like motion sickness meds, altitude adjustments, and staying healthy in new environments.

Add a good supply of N95 masks to that. My missus went to Sri Lanka a while back and found herself in a minibus where everyone else caught covid and she still avoided it, useful on a plane as well. I don't get out a lot, but I often find I am the only person masking, seems madness not to to me. The only time I have caught it was when the hospital insisted I take it off so my chin would fit in a machine to photograph the back of my eye, why suffer if you don't have to, and we are still finding out about the long term effects, really horrid.

interesting the thoughts of taking medications. I think somewhere in my luggage is a couple anti diarrhea tabs. as far as Masks----Nope do not wear them. We take along our usual vitamins. and have a case of water in the car. a bottle of tylenol.

any way, next trip to Georgia for Thanksgiving, then to New Bern for a week. End of January Key West.

Why? Minimal inconvenience preventing massive interference. Do you not understand the long term damage Covid does? Trouble is a lot of it is not instantly visible, people don't know their immune system is screwed up, the resurgence of all sorts of diseases that we had almost got rid of shows it, and of course if your cognitive ability is damaged you don't have the cognitive ability to realise it. It affects just about every organ in the body, subtle, but long term, disabling with nasty final consequences. I have had it once, I am taking every precaution I can never to get it again, the chances of long covid increase rapidly with each infection, and it is truly disabling. I don't know what the tipping point is, but if enough people get it it will stop society working, sick people don't contribute, and the chance of long covid goes up to 37 percent after a third infection.

I no longer have an immune system so I'm highly vulnerable.

Never wore a mask people in the county never missed work.
