The general cough/cold/flu stuff is hitting everyone we know. We’ve gone back to wearing masks when out.
I haven't been out that much. It has probably come from family in some shape or form.
We report to https://www.flutracking.net/ every week. Not sure if it helps but maybe.
We are in a flu study. Every sniffle or cough they swab us and report back on what they found. I had the flu only a week ago, though got a minor dose of it. They also check for COVID and a dozen different cold viruses.
I am very experienced at doing PCR swabs on myself!
The current flu/cold type of infections are so varied, and the severity ranges from being just a nuisance to a severe malaise, it’s no wonder so many are feeling poorly.
Well done for doing the study, all the info they can get will help others.
