I came down with a cold last week and it knocked me on my butt. I’ve never had such a bad cold before, yikes!
The cold season this year has so far been rougher than normal.
Of course, I wonder how many people die normally from a “bad cold.” It’s almost impossible to say these people died strictly from a mutated cold virus and not for other reasons (such as an otherwise compromised immune system). The sheer number of people that get colds and don’t do anything about it makes it impossible to really know the extent of the mutated virus - and hence whether it’s really dangerous or not.
I’ve had 2 doozies within about 2 weeks.
When a common cold virus mutates into a deadly
strain this is a cause for alarm. The problem is we can no longer require the infected to be quarantined. The infected are not restricted. It's they're civil right.
My whole family is down with a hellacious cold right now — we’ve all been sick for about a week. It seems to just linger, with no one making any real headway against it.
