Guyyyys. How can I get a cold in the middle of summer? I can't remember the last time I got a summertime bug. It's horrible! My eyes have gone big and I can't breathe through my nose. Ugh! Did this sketch 9 years ago when I was snotty lol #summercold #snotty #dragon #watercolour
@antiaall3s I really love the self-deluding reversal within two sentences. You can see the thought process in action. The #CovidAtTheOlympics version of this that I’ve seen now in multiple articles is basically the same:
"We're thinking what everyone is thinking: that it's probably the Covid. But we don't know. It could be the Covid, it could be a #SummerCold. 
The doctor is leaning toward the possibility of a cold virus. That's what the symptoms suggest."

Good morning all my friends. You know how yesterday I declared myself over that bitch of an upper respiratory illness? Good morning to a 40 minute long coughing fit. And sinus drainage.

I guess I spoke too soon. 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully it's just my body clearing out the dregs. I am so tired of coughing.

Still sick. No surprise there. At one point yesterday, I collapsed on the floor and couldn't get up on my own. I'm better than that today, so maybe on the mend?

I remember a commercial, from the 60s maybe, that posited "A summer cold is a different animal." I'm aging myself. Most of you probably weren't born yet. So it turns out that's true, insofar as viruses are animals. Summer colds are caused by enterovirus, where winter colds are typically rhinovirus.

Went downstairs and emptied the dishwasher. Took maybe 20 or 30 minutes. But there was a lot of bending involved. I'm hurting and exhausted. I hate being chronically ill.

This article INFURIATED me last night & decided to read it again this AM like an idiot

Caitlin Rivers is dumb af do not care what her credentials are (assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health)

Rivers said she’s not wearing a mask out in public because cases are still so low, but if the numbers tick up, she would.
“But if I’m traveling on an ✈️or I’m getting on the metro, I would definitely want my mask on,”

Heard my neighbor say the same last week in elevator🙄

This is JUST what I wanted for #Christmas 🎄🖤🖤

Haven’t really delved too deep in yet, but can tell this is my #nerd #nirvana #CovidPapers to immerse myself into as I listen to the constant background soundtrack loop of #nyc 🚨🚑🚒 playing outside for that

OK Doomer
I went to my dentist again last night. The young receptionist wasn't wearing a mask this time. She said the Dental Association dropped their mask requirements yesterday. She said it felt so weird not wearing it, but she felt glad because even if she wore it over her chin, people would look at her funny. I reminded her she didn't have to stop wearing one just because it's not required now.
She was also coughing her lungs out from the notorious #SummerCold 🤦‍♀️
