I think a moderately nasty chest cold was going around 1-2 months ago. I got over it about a month ago. Still have a tiny bit of a cough now. It wasn't covid-19. If it were, it would be really obvious in the mortality statistics by now.https://twitter.com/MuseZack/status/1239392880914886657 …

I did a ton of research on colds a couple months ago because I keep getting them and they seem to be increasingly nasty. I developed Interesting Crackpot Theories that I was going to write up. No one’s going to want to hear about that now.

long story but part is the hypothesis is they’ve developed a trick of evading immune surveillance for long enough that the response winds down and then they ramp up again. so you get lotke-volterra dynamics internally.

if true, you need to reinfect yourself during wind-down phase to keep the immune system revved up a few more days in order to completely eliminate them.

"you need to reinfect yourself" or boost interferon by any other means at that point of time - there are pharmacological interventions

Aha! What’s the safest/most effective pharmaceutical intervention?
