How to use common cold in a sentence?
I was joking that you could offer to let the tourists cut the long lobster roll lines in Maine in the summer if they got vaccinated, i think if we take that kind of attitude and get enough vaccines to people, we actually could get to the right level to make this severe disease that has been completely debilitating from a societal and economic perspective, to something that is not eradicated, but that is something more akin to the common cold, which becomes more manageable.
You name it -- anything from the common cold to pneumonia to having respiratory distress, meaning we need to get some support breathing, and they're just coming in in higher and higher numbers, in the summer, typically RSV is a non-issue. It's just not there.
What we've known for a long time is one of the major causes of smell loss are upper respiratory tract infections due to viruses -- a common cold, influenza -- a subset of people lose their sense of smell, most of them temporarily, but a small subset lose that smell permanently.
You can't really shoot there, there are 62 uncontacted tribes, and they will have your head. And even if they wouldn't have your head, if you had a common cold, for example, and you shook their hand and gave them it, they would die. They have no resistance to a lot of the diseases we have.
I think that that's an important point that needs to be made, especially right now while we are still in the midst of this pandemic, it is difficult to tell the difference without a test. There are some trends. Typically for influenza, the clinical hallmark is high fever, and that occurs less so in the common cold and is not always a feature of Covid-19 infection.
