Hello, I completely understand this! It feels like everyone has forgotten there is a pandemic! No one really wants to believe this still exists yes?

BOND AID ?

While reading about the writeup on:Gloves of love" by @Shalini Ramachandra i was reminded of another such discovery with a romantic background. It is none other than the most familiar product" BAND AID"

Earlie Dixon of New York was an employee of JOhnson and Johnson a pharmaceutical company. His wife Josephine was prone to cut her fingers often in the kitchen.

The story goes like this. Josephine was scared of cuts and wounds and the sight of blood. Whenever she got a cut, she would phone hre husband in the office and ask him to come home and attend to her wound. Dixon's colleagues would make fun of him. Josephine felt bad . But then a beloved wife is a beloved wife and Dixon was coming.

One day Dixon decided he must do something about it . He cut the medicated adhesive tape manufactured by his company into handy strips and put it on her cut. He stacked a few strips on the kitchen shelf for ready use and asked her to pull one next time.

LO! next cut the phone came again. The cut strips had stuck to each other and the pile fell on her.

Dixon worked on it and came up with a somewhat present type of Band-aid. It worked wonders for Josephine.

When he told this in the office, his higher ups saw potential in it and asked him to get a prototype.

The company worked on it and introduced machine made ones in 1924, But people did not take to it immediately.

After a decade and a half, they came up with sterilised Band-Aids . It coincided with the world war and became a global product.

Today billions of medicated adhesive strips are sold all over the world and several companies manufacture them.Uptodate, Johnson and JOhnson have said they have sold over hundred billion pieces and still counting.

Strips with designs like Mickey, Donald, Dora Iron Man, Super Man to name a few are there to entice the kids to wear them when needed,. Kids as you all know are a major chunk of their customers.

It is a billions of dollars worth proposition today. And come to think of it , It all started with a SQUEAMISH WOMAN and a DOTING HUSBAND

I dug out an old DVD and started doing some basic hip hop dance moves...it is not the same as having an instructor doing it with you but this was so much fun, I am of course nowhere as good as the instructor and thinking of how my weird dance moves must be looking made me lol for real!!

I do not know someone who does virtual yoga but of course there are plenty options online, I just have to pick one. Staying fit is so important and as @arakalic says, it is not possible to go to a class all the time, even during normal times!
