Doctors see increase in prolonged cold, flu symptoms
WOOD ^ | Meghan Bunchman

“Distinguishing COVID from flu can be difficult because the symptoms overlap so much,” explained Dr. Brooke Bozick, an NIH expert on respiratory diseases.

Spectrum Health reports it is seeing patients who are fighting the cold and flu for up to a week.

“We rely on getting [exposure to the flu and cold] every so often, so it gives a little boost to our immune system,” Sullivan said. “That way when we do get them, the symptoms are limited to three or four days until you start to feel better.”

There is no cure for the common cold. Typical treatments include rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medicines.

That’s why “there was no flu last year.” Duh.

Meanwhile we have a bunch of dunderheads reporting all sorts of Covid “data.” And the sheep swallow this crap.

With so many immune systems being compromised by endless “boosters”, it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that people are losing the ability to fight off disease on their own.

A cute little sci-fi short story about an attempt to find a cure/vaccine for the common cold and how it backfires.

95% of the flu “disappeared” and the hospitals made a bundle off this “disappearance” when the flu was labeled “covid” and they made 10’s of thousands per patient if they cured them and much more if they killed them.

The natural effect of being an immune-compromised victim. Every opportunistic disease out there is going to try and take you out. It’s all part of the depopulation plan.

I said this back in April 2020.

The DemocRats are excellent in taking something that occurs naturally in our environment, i.e. the weather and hype the hell out of it in order for their evil dominion.

Global Warming = Weather

Covid 19 = Flu

The majority of people get sucked into their lies every time.

I don’t know if it qualifies as a cure but in my experience if one has symptoms of “common cold”(or flu) one day and takes a measured megadose of vitamin D3 the symptoms will be gone in 8 to 10 hours. If one takes a daily D3 supplement of, say, 125 mcg or in the summer gets sunshine on skin every day which practice I have followed for 18 years, one is unlikely to get any cold of flu syptoms in the first place. I did get the CCP flu in early March 2020 and treated it the same way, 3500 mcg (determined by body weight) and approximately 9-10 hours later it was clear.

"Spectrum Health reports it is seeing patients who are fighting the cold and flu for up to a week."

There was an old adage that if you took care of yourself when you caught a cold; hot broth, aspirin, rest, salt water gargles, honey and lemon, you would be better in a week. If you did nothing it could take seven days.
We have been giving flu shots for 60 years and it still makes the rounds every year.

What a dumbass, or admitted gaslighter ala ‘Faucian’.

What does a hypochondriac do if they experience ‘COVID-like’ symptoms today?

And a ‘doctor’?

smh

Our local TV stations like WOOD absolutely suck. And Spectrum is a government infected conglomerate.

Has anybody tested Ivermectin or HCQ/zinc against the common cold?

Seems to me like there were studies with zinc that were positive. I would think HCQ/zinc or Quercetin/zinc would be doubly effective.

Note to self: Try Quercetin/zinc on next cold.
