Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Also a jumbo pack of toilet paper.

This is just insane overboard nonsense but ok.
Most of this is stuff you should have on hand anyway. I'd draw the line at keeping your own stash of Paxlovid, and the anti-viral nasal sprays are a waste of time and money.
I'd say the one thing on the list that people should have and most people don't already have is the pulse oximeter. A lot of people died because they didn't realize how badly they needed treatment until it was too late. Once your lungs can't take in enough O2, you need immediate medical help.
When I got COVID, I was periodically checking my oxi because that was the only thing I was worried about.
I noticed the tightness in my chest and sore muscles made it so I was taking less deep of breaths and my oxygen level was lower than it normally was by a few points. It really dawned on me how easy it would be for someone with weak lungs, less active, etc. to dip into a concerning level that spirals down.
