Getting Prepped For Flu Season Or Any Other Disease

Just got a package of some supplies for getting prepped for cold and flu season. Or any other type of virus, etc.

Today , we got some goggles and a box of 20 respirator face mask. I also got a pack of these mask.

I also had gotten some gloves the other day. Some of those Nitrile gloves and then some thicker gauntlet style to put on over them. A pretty good start on the flu & cold survival kit. I also have stocked up on a bunch of different medicines , cough drops, tylenol, pepto, and any thing else that I could think of. Each week I have been buying and focusing on one thing medical wise. Now have a pretty good stockpile. Should last the whole cold season.
