Covid Container

 Early in the pandemic I started a tub of supplies that I thought I might need if I came down with Covid.  I read articles and listened to people talk about the things that helped them to survive.  I started to assemble things that I thought might help if the worst struck.

I ordered an oxygen finger thing that is unopened.  Some articles I read indicated that knowing that number was important to assess whether or not I might need hospitalization if I got the virus.  I already had a thermometer.  I got some aspirin. some tums, some zinc tablets, and vitamin D because those things were mentioned somewhere as aides in recovery.  I got pineapple, applesauce, peaches, fruit juice, and other juices in case I couldn't eat really solid foods.  I bought some canned soups and crackers. I made sure that I had lots of tea bags because for me, tea is essential to life.

Now that I have had the second dose of the Covid vaccine I am feeling like my pandemic tub of supplies is less and less necessary.  I am starting to take it apart and use the things I can.  I think that I might want to tuck into that canned soup before the weather gets hot. My Covid container was an insurance policy that I might have some things I needed if worse came to worst. Praise God, I never needed it.
