    another virus is going around, people around me are getting sore throat, mildly painful, because people arnt vaccinating or isolating when they are sick, but not sick like flu, covid, or the cold. i do not want another covid infection, like i did last sept.

      Husband had that 2 weeks ago. He said he felt like he was going to die. Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, cold sweats, fever, etc. Took a COVID/flu AB test and negative.

        Me with my wife got sick real bad in the end of March. Sore throat, coughing, blocked nose, no temperature but cold feeling, exaustion, headache. All these for 2 weeks for me and my wife and for some it went over 3 weeks. We spend 2 weeks at home barely going outside. This sickness was nothing I have experienced before. We didn’t test for corona but it also didn’t felt similar compared to our previous corona times.

        We also know some people directly who got sick with a similar sicnkess (in our proximity and outstide of the city) and I also know from my friends and coworkers that some people they know got sick with similar sickness.

        I am technically still recovering. My symptoms went away except coughing. I constantly feel snot in my throat and recently began to cough out fresh blood and not clots anymore. I been to doctors 4 times already and now am consuming double the does of some coughing pill that doc prescribed. I think it is helping but that is too early.

        Surprisingly, we had guests at our home at exactly the days we got sick and none of them got sick in the end.

        I may be an outlier. But this year it seemed that tons of people got sick with something they never been sick before which is not covid or anything simple as common cold or even bronchitis. Hope this is not pandemic 2.0

          If US/China/Russia aren’t using gene-tailored bioweapons to reduce each other’s productivity I’ll eat my hat. They’ve discovered they can get away with it if it’s not too blatant.

          someone at work mentioned they were getting slightly painful throat, multiple people did and some people started wear masks again this was around friday, i still have a very mild 1 side throat pain. apparently CPC mouthwash helps reduce the inflammation, people used it during covid(the blue mouthwash), it also works on mouth ulcers if its not too large.

        RSV is was going around, but it appears to affect children more severely. and 50+yo can get the vaccine apparently.Oh yea and around feb i felt slightly under the weather, than suddenly i got 5 mouth ulcers at once on my left side. i do get allergies which can cause ulcers, but this pretty unusual to get this many at once.
