Playing my Air Guitar right now .... #cough
I feel like my lungs are about 73% spores right now.
Oh, joy. For the first time in many months I've caught some sort of cold/URT infection.
This I can do without.

Not kidding in the slightest, Robitussin CF is high levels of disgusting.
Use DM instead.

Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years
Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction
Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.

Have a #cough that won’t go away? Here’s what we can VERIFY
My cold has turned unpleasant.
If I try to lie down to sleep I get musical wheezing from my chest, then I start coughing.
I've never been one for sleeping sitting up but I'm going to work on the technique because I desperately need to sleep.
I don't think I'm in 111 territory yet, so we'll see how today goes.
I got a two-pack today; one bottle DayQuil, one of NyQuil.
took one dose of the day version and it smacked the cough down from the persistent level that was making me lose sleep to an occasional short bout.
I’m going to keep dosing myself with the old patent nostrum(s) until the symptoms hold at this level without further chemicals.
"Yo yo yo, home!"
"Bleep!"
"Turn on [cough] turn on the coffee maker."
"Sorry. I'm not aware of any device called turn on the coffee maker."
[ETA: yes, the coffee maker is controlled through home automation. If I had not coughed, it would have worked.]
#Evolutionary #biology question:
Do #animals other than humans clear their #throats rather than #cough , or is that one of the things that comes with vocal-language-level #diaphragm control?
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Today I could have been coughing and spluttering on the train like someone did last week, except that I would have worn a mask. Yesterday I had a fever and when I was sitting at the desk in the morning I felt awful so I went for a siesta that lasted for one hour and ten minutes. When I woke I felt much better but I still skipped my daily walk as I wanted to leave my energy resouces for my body to fight the virus.
Feeling Better at Last
This morning I woke feeling much better. I cough every so often but my breathing is better and my mind feels clearer. There is a good chance that the walk would have been fine today. I chose not to go in case I suddenly felt tired again. I'd rather be conservative today, and more playful tomorrow. Tomorrow I could run or cycle if I recover properly today.
A Milder Cough
Yesterday afternoon I tested myself for COVID with tests one and a half years beyond their sell by date out of curiousity and it was negative. I don't trust the result of the test but I feel that I have a mild version of what the girl on the train had. I am coughing less, to the point that I am questioning whether she was the disease vector or whether I got it from another source.
The alternative reason may be that my immune system is strong from living a healthy lifestyle, drinking tea and hydrating properly, and resting.
Isolation
Being responsible by resting when sick is good, but it also results in a feeling of loneliness and isolation. I could have been on a group run on Wednesday, a group hike yesterday, and a group hike right now. I felt emotional yesterday for a few minutes. That's why I would hate to be sick for more than a few days. Having a broken arm was not fun a few years ago.
And Finally
By being sick, rather than healthy I have felt isolated for the last four days. I missed a run and at least two hiking opportunities. I fell back to social media but social media is no longer a network of friends of friends. It has become toxic. If you're not careful you get trolled and flamed, and you're often misunderstood, because no one knows anyone anymore.
By going hiking, cycling, or climbing I am in groups that are on a human scale and that's nice. Social media is too big to remain enjoyable. I need to find a new social media niche to be part of.
I'd rather be social hiking than on social media. The sooner I'm healthy, the sooner I get back to people in the physical world. Social media fatigues me.
Reading Time: 2 minutes
On Sunday, less than a week ago I was on a train. I could hear someone coughing, and coughing. She sat in the seats a set of seats in front of the group of people I was with. I could hear the bronchial cough and I considered masking but didn't and now I regret it.
Over the last two days I have had a sore throat and last night I didn't sleep much so I chose to listen to podcasts with my eyes closed.
At Four AM I was meant to get up to run at 0530 but aborted that idea. If I had run in this state I might have been sick, and I would have suffered. It would have been nice to run with such a brilliant moon. I can try next year.
Some people might find it paradoxical that I consider this a victory. Usually when I hear someone coughing, whether in shopping centres, or trains, even outdoors, I mask. This time I didn't mask and that's a victory. It's a victory because I controlled my reflex to mask. It's a victory because it's normal to catch a cold every so often.
On the flipside if I had not caught this cold I could have run this morning in the moonlight, and tomorrow I could hike to La Dôle, and then on Sunday I could walk in the Canton of Geneva. Now I have the frustration of not knowing how long I will feel sub-optimal.
And Finally
I see this as a pyrrhic victory because I resisted the urge to mask, which is great because I'm normal, but at the same time I could have avoided falling sick. Not masking in this context was absurd. I find the masks I wear comfortable. From now on I will feel more confident in masking in situations where I calculate there is a risk. Despite not being on top form I still managed to write a normal blog post today.
It Matters If It’s COVID
Now is the perfect time to test whether your “cold” is something else.
By Rachel Gutman-Wei
Americans are getting progressively less information about how much COVID is spreading through their communities. The #CDC stopped reporting new daily #COVID infections in May 2023. This April, it stopped requiring #hospitals to submit their COVID data to its national disease-monitoring network.
@MatthewTitus88 @bunnyhero We have all thought about this, and some of us #cough do much worse things with computers
