Turns out I DO have it again now. Everybody I've been around at work has it.

Which is also a bit weird. The last time I was sick was the first time I had COVID, like a year and some change ago. What happened to colds and flus?

I guess whenever CoVid is around, the flu vanishes and vice versa.

Where are all you people that you're suddenly getting it? Guess I'll play it safe and stay in this weekend.

Oh yeah, nose dripping. Yeah, I had that too. Mostly I was shocked at how much I was sneezing constantly. I had it in my head it was going to be like a bad upper respiratory thing, but it wasn't that at all. And I even smoke cigarettes quite a bit, to boot, so I was ready to get ravaged. Never happened.

Unsurprisingly, some of the mandates and self routine steps (masks, distance, fresh air, washing hands more regularly etc) also have an effect on the rate of flu and cold transmission. It's no surprise that during the summers of 2020 and 2021 in Australia (ie their winter) the rates of flu/cold were significant factors reduced from the normal infection levels due to people mitigating for avoiding Covid.

I've had one very mild cold this year so far, nothing in comparison to my earlier description of my last Covid infection. The fact that many of the newer Covid strains have some similar symptoms to colds (runny nose, sore throat, hacking, lethargy) means that some people quite likely had Covid when they just thought it was a regular cold.

The way they kept changing the symptoms was quite amusing after awhile. It was like the pepto commercial, “if ya got nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diahrea, girl it’s f*ckin COVID you’re probably gonna die!” It’s like wtf?

It's the same thing they've done with climate change.

Different strains, different symptoms, not that hard to comprehend. Not everyone gets the same symptoms with colds or flus either - with colds, I don't always get a sore throat, or tiredness, or in a few cases, actually much of a runny nose.

I will agree, many drug adverts on US TV have a ludicrous list of potential symptoms mentioned but that's them covering their arses because someone would sue if they got something as a result that wasn't listed.

Ya know in a lot of cultures people wear masks when they're feeling unwell so as to not share illness with everyone else. This had been going on since before any of us were born.

Wish we could make that common in America, it just seems considerate and kind without really hindering anyone.

And in a lot of cultures gays can’t get married, different religions are banned and women are just sandwich makers and baby makers.

Is wearing a mask more considerate? I guess? But to force anyone to wear a mask under the threat of losing their livelihood? **** that noise. And masks actually do more harm than good.
