Flu - Tumblr Posts
Cold temperatures themselves do not directly cause illness; rather, it is the presence of viruses that leads to conditions like the common cold or flu. Viruses, such as rhinoviruses and influenza viruses, are responsible for these illnesses, and their transmission is not solely dependent on temperature. However, certain factors associated with cold weather may contribute to an increased risk of getting sick.
During colder months, the environment tends to be both cold and dry. This combination can support the survival of some viruses outside the body, potentially contributing to the spread of infections. While the cold weather itself does not induce sickness, it can create conditions that favor the persistence of viruses in the environment.
Additionally, cold air has been shown to have a suppressive effect on the immune response within the nasal passages, making the nasal cells more susceptible to viral adherence and infection.

Finally getting over this flu. Went from working my butt off in the warm sun and soft-sand beaches in #PuntaCana to bedridden (while still getting work done 🙃) in LA. 😯 ...But I can smile & laugh today (or at least chuckle before I start coughing lol). 😜😀 PS - 1st season my Doc convinced me to get the flu shot. lol (He told me today the vaccine didn't turn out to be such a good match for such a powerful strain... of course it could have also been Dengue fever considering I got a lot of mosquito bites where I had been.) #sickypoos #sick #flu #gettingbetter #smiles #chuckles #laugh (at Hollywood Hills)

I hope he’s lying...
I sometimes wonder what parents are thinking when they shroud their children in ignorance…
Are they protecting themselves from having to explain the virus?
Are they bamboozled into thinking that there is no pandemic?
They vaccinate their son against the flu yet he has no idea what ‘corona’ or ‘covid-19’ is…
What does he think of these masks then? A sudden fashion trend?
At least he wasn’t told it was all an elaborate hoax…
I have to stop reading dystopian literature and watching dystopian stories (I won't) because here's a list of things that I've done reading Station Eleven (Emily St. John Mandel) and watching the HBO/Max series adaptation.
cried. so many gods be damned times
wanted to throw the book against the wall (and resisted)
wanted to cuss out the author
...cussed out the author
snapped the book shut and swore
...swore
made two playlists to fit the vibes
fainted
read fix-it fics because i was mad about a very clever narrative choice
dedicated nine songs to the universe
literally been so wrapped up in the universe i spilt milk down my shirt
screamed into a pillow
read it four times in three weeks
wanted to punch several characters
planned a new tattoo
had several flashbacks and moments of panic
related to the villain
related to the main characters
questioned my life in great detail
panicked over whether the Georgia Flu could ever happen
researched spread of viruses (again)
got distracted and tried to replicate the Georgia Flu in plague.inc
regretted ever reading the book
wished i could read it again for the first time
cried some more.
whispered 'im never going to finish this series' before binging another six episodes while drawing and crying because they changed the story for the better.
...anyway, thanks. Emily. You did a good job.
HI, I'M SICK

Got cabin fever? Bones chilled to the core? Both Ginger and Cinnamon is well known to warm the body and keep it warm for hours on end. It improves blood circulation and restores the " Yang " balance according to Chinese culture. The incredible aroma of Cinnamon is well known to cure the winter blues. And pure high-quality ginger oil is calming and helps alleviate the pains of winter. If you got a seasonal illness a cup of ginger tea is the perfect solution to sooth your sore throat or aches and pains. Now that is the perfect antidote to the cold weather wouldn't you say? All in a convenient sealed envelope you can carry on the go. With the same power as fresh ginger.

They say laughter is the best medicine. With the Corona virus people are panicking. My friends in Hong Kong are calling and asking me to send face masks because they have run out. Face masks don't really help in my opinion. Washing hands helps and not using public toilets is a good idea. Restrict travel if you can. Maybe avoid restaurants or public places. Work from home if you can.

Sometimes I feel a little blah blah, tired of my own cooking. Then I resort to memories from childhood when mom used to make Rasam soup when I was sick. It’s a south Indian recipe that is World famous. Of course, I have not been sick for ten years (touch wood) but these winter blues can make you feel a little down. What with everyone around me being felled by Covid-19. As a hypochondriac it can weigh on your mind. If you are sick try this Rasam soup. This thing will clear up your throat, chest, lungs, sore throat and nasal canals. It has a pretty strong spicy kick. I am convinced it will send the viruses packing. The Tamarind and Tomato gives this soup a beautiful savory taste on top of the spicy kick to get your taste buds going. If you got Covid-19 and lost your sense of taste maybe you should try this. I add some red lentils, carrots and one 1 tbs of cooked rice to give it some texture. Yes, it has some sugar but you need a little sugar to build up energy to fight a virus. Besides cumin stimulates insulin production which will keep any hits to the blood sugar levels in check. Finally, they say add Ghee butter which I have to admit is genius as it adds a delectable smoothness and further enhances the taste. Got my organic Rasam powder made by a company called 24Mantra at the Indian store. Seems like a good product.

Everything hurts.
Everything hurts so much.
I can't see clearly and ot's too bright.
It's too much.
I want tea and I want to complain to someone about everything and I want someone to hold me while I'm shaking and coughing.
I don't want to be alone while feeling like the end is coming.
I can't really breath.
I want someone to care and be here.
I had a little bird, Its name was Enza. I opened the window, And in-flu-enza.
