+--- Thread: I got my first cold since 2019 (/showthread.php?tid=270620)
I got my first cold since 2019 - AllGold - 09-13-2022
Or maybe even before 2019--I don't remember.
(Tested negative twice so it doesn't appear to be that which is for the other side.

Probably be lots of Cold and Flu going around this season because hardly anyone is wearing masks anymore. People can say what they want but I feel sure that's why Flu has been almost nonexistent in the last two Winters.
Hope you feel better soon!

Funny you should bring that up, AG! I just got over strep throat! Which I haven't had since I was what? Twelve years old? And my Doc said that strep was quite active in the Detroit metro area this past Summer! Hope it doesn't spread to your neck o' the woods...

FYI: If you've had COVID or are vaccinated, BA.5 tends to have cold-like symptoms -- sniffles, scratchy throat and maybe a mild cough, mild fever.
And at-home tests seem to be worthless at catching it. I've got a bunch of friends who tested over and over again and until the PCR test all turned up negative.
