In the context of calling all mild upper respiratory illnesses the “common cold,” sure.


But around 80% of them are caused by rhinoviruses.

It’s disingenuous to call it all coronavirus when it shares that position with about 199 viruses for that last 20%

Should’ve gotten that 10th booster!


Pureblood checking in. And I don't do the flu shot either. Haven't been sick in well over 5 years.

Take zinc and Xyzal daily. I can't say for certain this combination has kept me well, but I don't think it has hurt either. I do believe because I am around compromised people every day who have a lot of health issues that my immune system's ability to fight off illnesses is excellent.

A new virus in a new year.


I’ve said this before, but I’m a public health professional with a Masters in Epidemiology. You are correct, human infective viruses are being discovered yearly. Any one of them could be that reason for the next pandemic or epidemic. 2-3 are discovered every year

“Ivermectin FTW”
Grandson was sick last week,fever,cough,aches.Gave him a dose of ivermectin and he was over it in 24 hrs.

Ivermectin is 6/6,myself and 5 relatives.In every case symptoms gone in 24 hrs.
Myself, when I had Covid my symptoms were gone next day but I felt puny for a couple days afterwards.I’m old,I guess that’s why.

For the love of God, please don’t go walking around looking like a pile of shvt and blaming it on allergies.
