    Default I have a cure for the common cold, flu, etc

    I have a cure that would rid the planet of the common cold, flu and other such contagious diseases:

    Every human on the planet simply has to avoid all contact with other humans at the same time for a period of several weeks. Gone!

    I didn't say the cure was realistic!

    It's on my mind because I have a stupidly irritating head cold.....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

    I work in a small room with HEPA filtered air, but it does no good at all when you work with people that culturally don't believe in covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze, nor have any compunction about doing either right into your face.

    I've never had a cold. I've never known anyone else that can say that. I do get a flu at rare intervals.

    My wife works with little kids and starting in October it's one long cold with her. Usually I don't catch them but this year I did and I was sick as a dog for almost three weeks.

    Since my wife retired from teaching, I have had only one cold and nothing else. Pretty good for four years.

    Just for info

    Wives will NOT chop wood for the stove when you are sick

    Swinging an axe while on Nyquil is not fun

    Just thought I would enlighten you guys from the couch
