Before COVID lockdown, there was some kind of crud going around for the last couple of winters before. It eventually settled in your upper chest and left you with a hacking cough for a month or more.
I did not get that crud during COVID lockdown and I did not miss getting it one bit.
I’ve had the cold this past week -
First one had for 4 years … wiped me out !! Really bad one. Wasn’t Covid as I tested ( I’m on the list of CEV who get govt test kits and also have to contact them for Covid antibodies if I get it ) still struggling a bit , and talking like Barry White.
