Not everyone has had Covid. And every thing is always changing. It’s because of research like this, which came out around Feb 2024, and lots of other research on post-viral syndromes, that I will continue to be cautious. And recommend to anyone that is willing to listen that they can significantly reduce, even nearly eliminate the chances of getting an URI by taking four or five simple, inexpensive measures.

  1. Handwashing
  2. Distancing
  3. Masking
  4. Isolation if sick and
  5. Neti washing with salt and a small amount of soap, e.g. liquid Castile soap like Dr. Bronners. Also some additional benefit in viral activity reduction can be had from Iota Carrageenan, and/or xylitol.
