The common cold

I've been fighting a cold for a few weeks, and I think I really have had a couple of different strains of the common cold - back to back. 

Definition: - "A viral infection of the upper respiratory tract - your nose and throat. A common cold is usually harmless, although it may not feel that way at the time. If it's not a runny nose, sore throat and cough, it's the watery eyes, sneezing and congestion - or maybe all of the above. In fact, because any one of more than 100 viruses can cause a common cold, signs and symptoms tend to vary greatly."

I have been living this definition, as in the "or maybe all of the above" section for too long. 

Yes, I've gone to the Dr. 

To no avail, it's really just a rest and wait it out game.

Fascinating facts you never knew about the common cold, 

"Out of 200 different strains of cold, the rhino virus - or nose virus - is one of the most common. Viruses are microscopic - it would take 50,000 rhino viruses lined up back to back to cover just one millimetre! Worse still, you can easily catch two different strains one after one after the other."

The Bottom Line A single person can carry multiple cold strains at the same time. 

Oh Joy!

On this happy note of what's going on with me, please enjoy this (YouTube clip) from the movie (originally a Broadway show) "Rent" and the song "525, 600 minutes, Seasons of Love" 

"In daylights, in sunsets

In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
