here's a companion article from 2020

You should be able to use both, neosporin causes an anti-viral immune response in the nose, carrageenan acts more like a barrier.

It's not being used to treat a bacterial infection in this case, whatever properties it has causes the immune system in the nose to go into virus-attacking mode. So I would think the of overuse is minimal.

Probably not best to use it daily, but for occasional high risk situations it shouldn't be a problem.

aw shucks, here we go"stumbling into war" again

Any good strategy for the guardian ape? That bossed wrecked me so hard, and then I saw there was another boss fight with two of them, that I gave up.

I am proud of my totally normal and not racist president.

Covid whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I infected you."

Why don't people understand that the economy is doing great?

If you don't want Trump to win, vote for Afroman. A vote for Biden is a vote for Trump.

"They’ve also publicly threatened Iran that if it hits Israeli soil, Israel will hit Iranian soil again"

I was listening to The Dollop podcast about old timey public health guy John Hurty, and in it they mention the town he was in had a small pox outbreak, and after about four years people were just like "It's just small pox, gotta alive your life", so I think it's partly just a human trait to be able to normalize horrible things. Especially if, like back then, there's not much people think they can do.

And there's been a huge push to normalize covid, because keeping it at bay is expensive. Countries like China, Vietnam, DPRK, New Zealand, and Austrailia were largely successful, but with every other country on the planet giving up and encouraging the spread of it, there's not much anyone country can do except strict isolationism. Really, we could put a huge dent in transmission rates with indoor air cleaning and having people wear properly fitting n95 masks, but the powers that be decided that's too much trouble, and it's easier to tell people that getting sick all the time is good for them, so now we have to wait for science to do magic with better vaccines.

I try not to get mad that so many people gave up, or even regressed, but it's difficult. Especially when I'm personally and professionally close to vulnerable people who are still dying and being injured at alarming rates from this shit. It's like if everyone decided indoor smoking should be a thing people should do everywhere, again.
