Starting with Kids

After a year of trying to introduce my 9 year old to Spanish via Duolingo and a once a week tutor, we need to try something different. She’s AuDHD and very interest-driven. I think the minutes-watched will help, plus I’d love any insight into where to start (super beginner? Beginner?) and videos that might be interesting to her (video games, music) versus hotel/food etc.

I’m probably a B2 level, so I’m able to help with this process pretty easily, but need guidance on how to make this as interesting as possible for a kid, emphasizing exposure and interests over classes/drills/etc.

Current Med/Recommendations for Infection?

Hi, so my 80 year old dad has Covid and exposed us all. Started feeling off yesterday, had a minor fall, and my husband went over to help (unmasked). Today was a bright pluslife positive for my dad in 15 minutes, when I went over to check on him (masked).

I have no spoons right now, and would really appreciate if someone could share the best supplements and OTC recommendations. I’ll be asking for paxlovid for everyone eligible (kids aren’t eligible), but it’s unlikely we’ll get metformin etc.

Any information, with links, would be so helpful. Thank you!

Non-mask or hepa mitigations?

My kid and husband are both going to unmask at school and work. They will continue to mask in stores/public/doctors but not in school/work/social settings. It’s been a long 6 years, and they’re done. No comments on this please, because it’s out of my control and I’m fully aware of the risks.

We have air filters in every room. We do nasal rinses every night. We will mask and isolate with any symptoms. Unfortunately, we can’t get plus life tests and Metrix is expensive and rapids aren’t great. If anyone has other recommendations on supplements or in-home actions, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks.
