A new systemic review
has found “Lingering
respiratory virus symptoms
aren’t limited to COVID,”
with the further details
that lung problems
are common after flu,
and heart symptoms
are common after RSV,
but fortunately
a good mask will help

As often as you can, put a little cash in your go bag. If a disaster disrupts electric/internet service, you won't be able to pay using a card. Small bills, $1s, $5s & $10s, even coins, are good b/c disrupted service also often means merchants aren't getting cash replenished at their bank.
