The Common Cold
The Common Cold
A friend gave me his Common Cold :(
How do I know it's a Common Cold? Because my doctor administered a nasal swab which eliminated other possible causes.
Not to complain, but it has evolved into a hacking (barking) cough which was debilitating me until I started taking Musinex, which has alleviated the cough somewhat.
The much overused "It is what it is" covers it, but why? Why can't they cure the Common Cold?

The last war on earth after humans are gone will be between the virus and the cockroach. Not sure which will prevail. Just my random theory.

First verse
Go hang yourself, you old M.D.!
You shall not sneer at me.
Pick up your hat and stethoscope,
Go wash your mouth with laundry soap;
I contemplate a joy exquisite
I'm not paying you for your visit.
I did not call you to be told
My malady is a common cold.

Sorry to hear you are sick. They haven’t developed a cure for the common cold because it mutates faster than they can develop a vaccine for it. However, what works remarkably well is that immediately after exposure or at the first sign, flush your nose out with a nettie pot or Navage.
That's one very real result…
That's one very real result of the Covid pandemic. No one ever assumes a cold is just a cold anymore. We need to take Covid tests, flu tests etc.
Feel better!!!
