What's the point of a cold?  I'm in and out of the bathroom and sniffing more than Lily Allen at an awards ceremony.  They say "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" but I don't think that applies to the sniffles.  What's the damn point?

To provide a host for the virus to live and reproduce - think of it as Humans on Earth 😉

So people can tell you of their special remedies that make no difference as the virus moves on

There's a virus going round our way, like really bad hay fever, sore throat and then a little bit of vomiting with a temperature & red face.

my son had the multiple projectile edition on Monday. Hurrah.

Docs are callling it slapped cheek... slapped arse more like.

It’s an opportunity for people with a sniffle to claim they have flu and use it as an excuse to bunk off work. Speaking from the point of view of someone who lost an entire week to flu I know whereof I speak.
