Motivation
You can reduce your suffering by following these guidelines. ampdot used to get sniffles a third of the time after flying and feel mildly tired for a few hours as amp's immune system fought off a small amount of viral load. You can also make mild and short infections happen much more infrequently.
Guidelines
- Get your flu shot by scheduling an appointment at CVS or Walgreens (there are often same-hour slots available) or by getting FluMist nasal spray at a pharmacy or via the mail
- Wear a N95 disposable respirator while in dense transportation, such as on a plane, airport, or train.
- 3M Aura masks tend to fit East Asian faces well
- Bring enough masks for the journey to your destination and also for the journey back
- Perform a fit check for optimal performance
- Disposable and reusable P100 masks also exist. GVS Eclipse has good audio properties
- N95 and P100 masks only filter particulates and not gases
- Get an updated Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster. They're substantially more effective than other brands.
- When running indoor events, purchase a HEPA filter. Target has same-day delivery for a small $5 fee, and you can return it afterwards. They reduce transmission by a five-fold factor. Alternatively, open some windows.
