I have one of two responses to these types of infections:
1) I get the sniffles for a couple days, drink alot of fluids, aspirin, zinc, vit c, typical stuff or
2) I am SEVERELY ravaged by it for a week or more, stuck in bed with a 102-105 temp but freezing my butt off, unable to eat, in too much pain to move.

In the last 15 years or so event 2) has happened twice. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

I have had that experience once, in ‘68 or’69 whenever the late sixties flu epidemic struck. I had fever up to at least 105, complete with very strange hallucinations and felt as though every bone in my body ached like a toothache. It was altogether quite horrible! Strangely, since then I have not been nearly so susceptible to viruses and have been almost totally immune to viruses for the past thirty years or so.
