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.

Yeah, I figured out how to cure them, but it won’t work on the new thing

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.

Makes you wonder whether a protein like an interferon would be able to pass through gut in any amount, leaving aside whether it would cause inflammation. People tend to think about strong immune system, but you need “just right”- too much all the time not good

Yes I wondered those things too :)
