This is my experience as well. Kids have brought home a host of viruses this winter, both for themselves and to share around.

    I got covid just before Christmas last year and every time I’ve been ill since it’s hit me a lot harder than I expected. I don’t know if that’s a sign of long covid but since the boffins keep pointing out different things the virus is responsible for, I’m gonna go ahead and assume that it’s altered everyone’s immune systems so that regular bugs are now kick-your-ass bugs.

        That’s just an unfounded rumour started by my aching knees.
