Simple:
- Drink water
- I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
- I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from
yourmy nose, no matter how lazyyou areI am feeling- spit it out in the wash basin
- this way
youI don’t get cough
- I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
- Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
- Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
- Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)
And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

Ah man too many variants to keep track of.
When I got COVID, it luckily wasn’t too bad. None of the “loss of senses” stuff.
Just had some weakness and reduced metabolism (ok, I did get pretty slim in the wrong places) for ~ a month and was then kinda fine.
The second time I got it, only a little weakness. I even walked over to the clinic for testing, alone.
And I’d call that very lucky, considering that the common flu, the next year, ended up being worse on me.
