covid-19 Archives – Dane's Supply

A year later and we are surviving Covid-19. That is, if you call a shut down in California and the mandate imposed on people to mask up surviving.

Well, I don’t. I see it as allowing fear to dictate your actions. To some that may be surviving Covid-19. But at what cost?

The Cost Of Survival

I see a loss of freedom. Not just the freedom to make our own decision knowing the facts but also the lost of the freedom to decide when and where we want to associate with other human beings.

Therefore it is true that we have made it into 2021 and now have a vaccine being given to fight back. But many have lost jobs and lives. We see businesses close because some politician has told us we are super spreaders.

2020 we were given a new disease. This disease, we were told by the President of that time to ignore. He told us it was something carried by travelers to China who brought it back and spread it by droplets in their breath.

But now it is 2021 and we can fight back. We have a new vaccine which we should be receiving. It will be a process and it will be done.

We Are Surviving

Throughout the past ten months , we have tried such things as masks and distance and staying away from crowds. It has brought about loneliness and depression and suicide. All in the name of surviving.

In an earlier posting I also discussed this subject.

A person must in 2021 be able to live a life of dignity and good health. Getting your vaccine when it is available to you is a good step.

We need to be surviving covid-19 not by living in fear of something we can subdue and control but by ourselves being in control of our life.

Covid-19 Is Not The End

As I have been saying, Covid -19 is not a virus which is not treatable or even a death sentence.. A person can and will survive. Even after getting the vaccine you will need to mask up until the level of safety is reached some call herd immunity.

By now face masks work. The better ones are multilayer. You may get 95 percent effectiveness with several layers Keep up the hand washing and be sure to check on the use of hand sanitizers..

You can and will be active in surviving Covid-19.

We are still in a form of lockdown since we still have no vaccine distribution plan directly, it seems to me. Too many first responders seem to be turning down their place in line. This is causing the vials of vaccine out there to be wasted. Vials that would better be used to vaccinate those of us who want to be protected.

But there is also another idea we can be doing at this time. To stay in good health we need to exercise during the pandemic.

We can exercise during the pandemic. Exercise is important at any time. And you don’t have to do it in groups. In fact, it is best done in groups of one. When you exercise you lower the chance of infection.

To start off, I would like to share with you a video I saw on You Tube. It will start off the discussion on the right foot.

Some Exercises To Start

It is important that we stay with the plan. There is so much we can do that doesn’t require much space or other people. Let me suggest a few.

First Suggestion

You can do Push Ups. A simple exercise which I am sure you were exposed to in gym class during your time of education.

You can do this in the what is called girls way or boys way. I am not trying to be sexist.

The boys way if normal. DOwn on the group. Supported by your arms and legs. Up–down. Up–down.

Girls way seems to be kneeing and only the upper body is brought to the ground and pushed up.

Second Suggestion

Okay. There is another good muscle building movement. That is the old Pull Up.

You use a door frame for this one. Grab it and pull yourself up for as many times as you wish. Feel that sweat and strain.

Third Suggestion

We need to stay active. Squats . You will find this one good for the legs. Don’t strain but go easy. Exercise should be hard but fun.

Fourth Suggestion

This seems to be a close movement to the last one. It is called a Dip.

Body movement. I think that is an important thing to be involved in at this point in time.

A Fifth Suggestion

This one that will be listed is my favorite since it is done outside in the moving air. You don’t need to hide yourself behind a curtain to do.

It is Walking. Add to this a couple Lunges from time to time and you have a well planned workout.

Sixth Suggestion

And as you walk and lunge you can be doing Step-Ups using the side walk beside you.

Watch your balance and don’t fall. This will mean you are steady as you are in motion.

Why Exercise?

Hold on. All this sounds good. But we are not allowed out without masks and must stay a respectable distance from other people.

Did I say anything about doing this with other people or in a group? I don’t think I did. This is, so far, only done by you, alone.

And why are you doing this? Well, I would hope to feel more energized.

As you can see in the above video there are many reasons for exercise during this period.

I hope you will get on the program. And I will see you on the other side.
