I caught something noxious a couple of weeks before Christmas. Unfortunately, I was staying in a hotel in NYC for work, but eventually went to a relative's house some distance away.

It was weird - came in as a cold, at the end of the second day, I felt pretty good. Woke up the third day and was like fuck. And went back to sleep. It was bad. Not sure it was an early form of covid or something else, but it took 6 days to play through, and I was lying on the couch more than usual (I at least usually get up and sit at the table when I'm sick).

On the upside, I haven't been ill at all since (mostly due to lack of going places/seeing random people/doing things/using transit). And no lingering effects were observed.

Got insanely sick in January. It even compelled me to go to the doctor. At that time the doctor told me he had never seen a string of viral infections like this in his entire career. He was a fairly old gentleman, probably about 67.

It was gruesome as far as the chills and the respiratory aspect of it. I lived though!

I rarely get sick as a side note.
