My current armchair theory is the cold symptoms are not covid itself but the immune response to stop it taking in the first place and all three of us being boosted is just surpressing the virus replication to undetectable levels so we never test positive. But then how the gently caress did I catch enough of it so fast while gently caress all was happening with my cleanliness OCD but multiple tests still say no? It's like a locked room murder mystery.

Oh I had this one too, I was just certain it wasn't Covid because it was primarily a runny nose one day, no cough, no fevers/chills (ironically only until weeks later though), and no loss of taste/smell - but I still got 6 months of post-viral nonsense out of it.

The data suggested that by Christmas, 50% of "colds" in the UK were actually omicron, and that it's up to 75% now. If you have a cold, it's now more likely than not you have omicron.

It's not a weird cold as much as the first colds nearly anyone's had for two years, and they all spent that time under pretty extreme selection pressure to survive and spread with open windows, increased hygiene, and social distancing At the start of Omicron it was probably the most common pathogen behind cold-like symptoms, but by now dozens of cold-causing viruses will be having a fantastic time of it while none of us have any immunity to them Tesseraction posted:The data suggested that by Christmas, 50% of "colds" in the UK were actually omicron, and that it's up to 75% now. If you have a cold, it's now more likely than not you have omicron. Huh, I'd honestly have assumed colds would be returning in enough numbers to swing it after christmas

Unless it was an incredibly bizarrely mutated variant, it would still turn up on tests, though, right? The difference between now and then is that we have tests Szmitten posted:My current armchair theory is the cold symptoms are not covid itself but the immune response to stop it taking in the first place and all three of us being boosted is just surpressing the virus replication to undetectable levels so we never test positive. I also came up with that armchair theory. Or I read it.

Speaking about Colds and Covids, I was sure I saw an article that talked about this idea that the common cold would take up the spaces that Covid tries to infect and provides a temporary immunity(?) to Covid while you have it. But I went searching and I couldn't find anything about it on Google and frankly I don't want to be spreading false medical advice during a pandemic. But anecdotally I have seen a lot of people on social media talking about having negative Antigen tests but cold like symptoms. And the news are doing stories about the difference and similarities in symptoms between Covid and the cold.

Hello I'm a fantastically wealthy member of the aristocracy who always travels with an entourage and dines with princes and such. Anyway I was sat by myself in the corner of a high street chain pizza restaurant watching people and that's my alibi for why I'm not some sort of pervert.

Eh, I still remember selling Sandi Toksvig a photo frame in like 1995. Quite a few other minor celebs came through that shop but she's the one I'd pick as the most trivial encounter I had - you do tend to remember celebrity customers when you're working a service job just because the majority of days are just so bland and repetitive, anything that out of the ordinary sticks.

The Question IRL posted:Speaking about Colds and Covids, I was sure I saw an article that talked about this idea that the common cold would take up the spaces that Covid tries to infect and provides a temporary immunity(?) to Covid while you have it. Some common colds are actually caused by coronaviruses and there's a non-zero chance that some people have some immunity to SARS-CoV-2 as a result, but it's fairly unlikely. The immune response to a different virus *may* make it easier to fight off a simultaneous covid infection though, just because your defences are up at that point. However I think a much more likely reason is if you catch a non-covid virus right now you're going to be way, way less likely to try and soldier through it like you would with most colds, meaning people who've caught a cold (who by definition have to be in a group more likely to be exposed to covid) are less in circulation right now, basically a very well-targeted (but very crude) NPI.

The majority of coranaviruses don't target the same receptors, and multiple distinct but related viral infections in the same cell is a key part of how viruses evolve, so that's probably a no on actual immunity. As twisto said you can have an general elevated immune response from anything, really, theres some publications about the MMR vaccine giving you a few months of protection from symptomatic covid
