>>12416087There's some nasty colds and flu strains going around with or without Covid. I live in an Australian city where the total number of Covid cases for this year is in the triple digits and the number of deaths can be counted on one hand (in other words, Covid doesn't exist here), yet despite all the social distancing and lockdown bullshit we've been through I've been sick several times this year, one of those illnesses in May left me bedridden for days. I can't recall ever being sick so frequently until this year.
Hell right now as I type this I've got a stuffed up nose and a sore throat. I did the right thing, got tested, and got yet another negative result.
What the fuck's going on? The tinfoil hat part of me wonders if there's some sort of low level biological warfare going on, with mild colds and flus being released by the major powers during a supposed pandemic so as to completely cripple economies due to people constantly staying home from work as a precautionary measure.
