Any ideas on how to explain to a girlfriend why she has to take penicillin for your ear infection? Asking for a friend.

You couldn’t get sick in a nuclear winter!

Nuclear winter is the worst time to be sick, anyway !!

Wouldn't know why you want to post it here.. But I think there is something going on. Not some secret governement stuff, but just something.

Children in Holland get pneumonia unusually often.
Corona happening. Many people I know are getting some kind of respiratory issues..

Might be nothing, might be something.
I don't think it's something secret. I think it's just too many humans + a very unhealthy/unnatural lifestyle.

Anyone else struggling this winter with colds and flu’s? This is the fourth time I’ve been sick since December with a cold. I am only 41, perfect health, proper weight, eat well, nothing wrong with blood. Is it really bad outside of Massachusetts also?

This is pool related because it is preventing me from playing pool.

Yes, 2x here. Sinus pain, coughing stuff up, blah feeling.

8.000 people on a single cruise ship cannot be helping.....especially with nobody taking any precautions*.

{{Note: these big cruise ships have had numerous Corona virii manifestations <basically> ever since the ships got that big.
This is not a scientific <quality> observation, merely data...}}

(*) I guess the only precaution is not going.....on such a big ship.

On the other hand, tropical diseases are now infecting people several hundred miles farther north and south than 50 years ago, too.....

I’m sick to death of the pollen down here. Last week I played in a golf tournament at lake Lanier north of Atlanta. Course was soaked but in Thursday it was beautiful- and no freaking pollen.

AQI... Air pollution (not to mention everything else we pollute)
Which they'll use to push electric cars and other things onto society, while we still continue to live in unnatural city based environments.

This thread should probably be in NPR lol

No! Not being able to play is a serious pool issue!

St. Louis got hammered!! Hall was deserted for weeks at a time.

This season has been particularly bad for various sicknesses across the whole northeast. It has not been a fun "winter".

I should be all set for the next few years. My immune system got a lot of practice!

The best thing you can do to prevent getting a sickness of any kind is to not touch, rub or scratch your eyes. I have dust mite and tree pollen allergies so it can be a real chore to not do so. If I have to itch them for some reason I'll wash my hands properly before doing so, but even then I try not to.

Your eyes have basically no defense so touch them at your own risk. I used to be sick constantly and this really cut down instances of sickness of any kind.

Not touching your eyes or rubbing them is good hygiene and practical advice, for the most part, but to say the eyes have no defense however is incorrect.
Antimicrobial and antiviral enzymes (lysosomes) are present in tears and on the ocular surface, which has an electrical charge that actually Repels many virus' rendered aerosol by expelsion - as they have the identical charge. NIH has an excellent article about all this. Def worth checking out.
Not trying to nit pick. Just want to set record straight. Don't want peeps freaking out about their eyes and wearing sunglasses at night - like me. lol.
