Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years

Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction

Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.

My cold has turned unpleasant.

If I try to lie down to sleep I get musical wheezing from my chest, then I start coughing.
I've never been one for sleeping sitting up but I'm going to work on the technique because I desperately need to sleep.

I don't think I'm in 111 territory yet, so we'll see how today goes.

I got a two-pack today; one bottle DayQuil, one of NyQuil.

took one dose of the day version and it smacked the cough down from the persistent level that was making me lose sleep to an occasional short bout.

I’m going to keep dosing myself with the old patent nostrum(s) until the symptoms hold at this level without further chemicals.

Doctor's appointment this morning. Doctor has apparently been absorbed into a new medical group. Each of the receptionists had a tech behind her teaching her the new computer system, with a third tech in the doctor's office. The third tech had a #mask on; the two receptionists did not, nor did their techs, despite one of the latter having a #cough.

The doctor didn't wear a mask, either, despite him acknowledging #covid numbers are up, and that he'd admitted three patients to the hospital last week. That reminder call last week that I thought was a good sign, it advising masks, was likely just the generic message for the new medical group. ‹sigh› Getting my covid shot this afternoon. #CovidIsNotOver

It Matters If It’s COVID
Now is the perfect time to test whether your “cold” is something else.
By Rachel Gutman-Wei

Americans are getting progressively less information about how much COVID is spreading through their communities. The #CDC stopped reporting new daily #COVID infections in May 2023. This April, it stopped requiring #hospitals to submit their COVID data to its national disease-monitoring network.
