Oh, joy. For the first time in many months I've caught some sort of cold/URT infection.

This I can do without.

Mediterranean diet lowers COVID-19 risk, but its effect on symptoms and severity remains uncertain https://www.diningandcooking.com/1970743/mediterranean-diet-lowers-covid-19-risk-but-its-effect-on-symptoms-and-severity-remains-uncertain/ ##COVID19 ##inflammation #coronavirus #cough #Cytokine #Cytokines #diarrhea #diet #Fever #Fish #food #Frequency #Immunomodulatory #Mediterranean #MediterraneanDiet #Mortality #NasalCongestion #nausea #OliveOil #oxygen #pandemic #SARS #SARSCoV2 #SoreThroat #Throat #VitaminC

I will say it without any facts or evidence whatsoever. The Heathrow fire and subsequent outage was a foreign actor sabotage.

This is how news work these days isn’t it?

At least air plane sound and air pollution would be null today .

I have a fever so if I sound more coherent than usual, that's why.

Time to visit the WH and shake every Republican hand I can. Maybe even some tonsil hockey for those so inclined.

Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years

Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction

Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.

Have a #cough that won’t go away? Here’s what we can VERIFY

My cold has turned unpleasant.

If I try to lie down to sleep I get musical wheezing from my chest, then I start coughing.
I've never been one for sleeping sitting up but I'm going to work on the technique because I desperately need to sleep.

I don't think I'm in 111 territory yet, so we'll see how today goes.

I got a two-pack today; one bottle DayQuil, one of NyQuil.

took one dose of the day version and it smacked the cough down from the persistent level that was making me lose sleep to an occasional short bout.

I’m going to keep dosing myself with the old patent nostrum(s) until the symptoms hold at this level without further chemicals.

"Yo yo yo, home!"

"Bleep!"

"Turn on [cough] turn on the coffee maker."

"Sorry. I'm not aware of any device called turn on the coffee maker."

[ETA: yes, the coffee maker is controlled through home automation. If I had not coughed, it would have worked.]

#Evolutionary #biology question:

Do #animals other than humans clear their #throats rather than #cough , or is that one of the things that comes with vocal-language-level #diaphragm control?
