Everyone is talking about it privately so I’m just going to put it out there publicly: a lot of people think China dropped WuFlu 2 on D.C. during inauguration.

What everyone’s been down with for the last two weeks isn’t as bad as the OG Covid, but it’s weird in similar ways.

Taking Airborne tablet every day to build up my immune system. Noticed when I come in or go outside the temp change seems to trigger coughing. Tried breathing just through my nose when going out and that seems to help some.

SOMETHING that doesn’t pass quickly is going around, but, I don’t think it necessarily got planted in DC 1st. My wife teaches at a parochial school and the absenteeism for cold and flu-like symptoms has been running 15-20% since they came back from Christmas break. The kids get over it fairly quickly, but for older adults it hangs on for weeks. The symptoms seem to be all over the place, except that, unlike early COVID variants, chest congestion, something I’m prone to, doesn’t seem to be much of an issue. In my case, there have been a lot of bad days due to fatigue and / or joint aches that nearly wiped me out. The way the aches “come and go” as compared to my usual (just gettin’ old), and the severity, is just “weird”.
