I just came down with something 5 minutes ago. Caughing and breathing.

Just drink lemon honey tea. I did that when I had COVID and it went away.

Honey is a great antiseptic because of the hydrogen peroxide in it but it doesn't cure anything, just suppresses. But that can buy your system the time and give it the means of dealing with it so it is a solid piece of advice. Still it might not hurt to see your physician and figure out what you actually have come down with if you can.

I've been sick for two days now. Probably either covid or flu, both of which I should be resistant to, but it still sucks. Keeping warm and drinking a lot of water.

That's a weird as hell coincidence, I've just come down with something as well so I'm going to just settle myself in this week and see if I can't do some 3D sculpting. I'm thinking this is probably the winter flu/cold because I quite often catch something around this time of the year myself, already had covid.

It's pretty hilarious sometimes how this happens, I remember before when I logged onto Counter Strike at a very odd time and saw literally everybody was playing and they had all caught colds too lol.

Well it's flu season, and also COVID follows the trend of the flu (they are both coronavirus). And just general colder weather seems to bring sickness. I think I am like iron man or something, cause I never get sick. I did have COVID last year, but before that I want to say the last time I remember being actually sick was in 2009.

Ah, but influenza viruses are not corona viruses. Both families have different types, they infect similar parts of the body and show similar symptoms, but they have different vectors of infecting, and SARS-CoV-2 for instance has sort a proofreading mechanism that makes it mutate at a slower rate than influenza viruses.

Their differences also make vaccines mutually ineffective, that is influenza vaccine does not protect from corona and vice versa. Also treatments of severe cases are different, requiring more intensive life support measures in severe corona virus infections.

Your country's health department, WHO, medical journals etc. have more information on it.

Btw. rarely getting infected may also be a signal that the body's immune system is very inactive or weak, but I don't want to pretend to have deeper medical knowledge. Always ask the doctor. And apples aren't any more what they used to be. And all that. Just reminding my fellows to be careful :-)
