Newer Covid strains have sneezing as a symptom…I had it last fall.
Sure but KK is one of those people following the rubbish truck around throwing sacks in the back so he really has a problem when one does not show up.
Probably.
To be specific it was a cold with a continuously running nose for week, and generous expulsion of green mucus. No fever, no head or joint pain, sleeping and eating well, I was just an extremely productive mucus machine.
MAHA!

Not necessarily.
There are “very traditional Swiss companies” where office people must also comply with sitting hours at the office. That would be great to identify and avoid.
But, I guess we will not get the name of the shitty employer 
and their employees will all be on sick leave.
That was in 2022 but anyway typical of the weird team.
Flu tends to attack the respiratory system and comes on very rapidly. Not usually nasal.
Common colds (or some strains of COVID) centre on the nasal system more.
It took many years for people to accept the smallpox vaccine, people were not queueing up to take it, unlike the COVID shots. Big difference is the smallpox vaccine was capable of wiping out smallpox.
Might also be something to do with smallpox vax being mandatory (at least in England and Wales) from 1853.

Well I had the original strain in January 2020, 4 vaccinations & twice since so it’s not in the same league. (2 Moderna & t Pfizer)
It depends on the disease.
If the natural immunity you get after recovering from a disease lasts lifelong, the vaccine should do the same.
If your natural immunity after surviving Covis is six to nine months, the vaccine will not improve.
An added complication is that if a virus mutates sufficiently, neither natural immunity nor a vaccine will be very helpful.

So it has been that long around? Thanks, I didn’t know that.
Identical to flu, virus’s etc will always mutate to survive, evolution in action!
Longer than that, apparently:
Vaccination was discovered by Edward Jenner in 1796.

She worked in Egypt, Japan, China, various African countries. She brought me wonderful treasures every time she came home to California. I still have two Kyoto carved boxes and a gorgeous Kyoto doll from the 40s.

Yes, but the vaccine wasn’t compulsory. I found this data in an article about how difficult it is to “eradicate” the mistrust in vaccines. So here we are, after so many years, still debating on the freedom of conscience etc.
In the United Kingdom, the smallpox vaccine became mandatory for children in 1853. This first mandatory vaccination sparked strong opposition. Opponents cited the “danger” of injecting animal products, “religious reasons” or the “violation of individual freedoms”. A “conscience clause” was introduced into British law as early as 1898 to allow recalcitrant individuals to evade vaccination.
At the end of the 19th century, Louis Pasteur developed a vaccine against rabies based on an attenuated strain of the virus. An injection was successfully administered in 1885 to Joseph Meister, a child bitten by a dog suspected of having rabies. In this case too, the procedure raised suspicions - Pasteur was accused of wanting to make a profit by producing “laboratory rabies”.

By the way, is anybody else following the developing situation with that new virus in China?
It feels like the time when people were saying that it´s just a flu and not to make such a fuss.
