If you haven’t been fit this fall or winter, you know that everything that’s going on has been pretty unpleasant. If not, ask a friend who did. In my opinion, this would possibly be all the caution I want to take. my flu shot and update my Covid booster. However, with Missouri’s low vaccination levels against COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and a large number of harmful germs circulating, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a fitness advisory for physicians. and physical care providers in Missouri.
Everything that happens is unpleasant. I speak from experience. I pasted what looked like a bloodless one just before Thanksgiving. At first it was a nuisance. Especially a dry cough. It didn’t seem that serious, though. The cough drops worked with a little nasal saline. Then I went to Chicago to attend a relative’s funeral.
That travel didn’t help. My cold got a little worse and I ended up cutting my trip short and coming home. Before heading to the doctor I took a home Covid test, and surprise, guess what, I got Covid. Then, right after I cleared COVID-19 thanks to the Paxlovid and a week of quarantine, I woke up with a runny nose that wouldn’t quit and a cough.
This bleeding is worse than what I had before I left for Chicago and even worse than the symptoms I had with COVID-19. Severe congestion, bad cough, sore throat. It’s not funny. If we add it all up, I have a kind of bloodless breath that has been going on for a month.
At least at the time of writing, it turns out that the Z-Pak my doctor prescribed me with Mucinex is, despite all the suffering, to master this thing. Talking to listeners, friends and colleagues, yes, it turns out like this year’s. Flu and flu are a little meaner than average. Perhaps that’s why the CDC felt the need to issue a notice to medical professionals in Missouri.
The CDC writes to Missouri doctors:
“Health care providers are administering flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines to patients now, if requested. Health care providers recommend influenza and COVID-19 antiviral drugs to all eligible patients, especially patients at higher risk of progression to severe illness such as the elderly and others with certain underlying medical conditions.
Additionally, the CDC warns that between multiple pathogens (flu, COVID-19, RSV) and low vaccination rates, there could be more severe illness associated with these diseases and thus, more stress placed on Missouri’s healthcare system.
Speaking from experience, if you can take the possibility and have what I had, or even some of what I had. Being in poor health for a month with a dry cough and a runny nose is no fun.

Whatever has been going around is nasty. I speak from experience. I picked up what seemed to be a cold right before Thanksgiving. It was a nuisance to start with. Mostly a hacking cough. It didn’t seem too bad though. Cough drops worked along with a little nasal saline. Then I headed to Chicago for a family member’s funeral.
This didn’t help. My sangries got a little worse and I ended up shortening myself and going home. Before I went to the doctor, I had a Covid check at home and, surprise, guess what, I got Covid. Then, right after getting rid of COVID-19 with Paxlovid and a week of quarantine, I woke up with a runny nose and cough.
