I have a white hat, a number of pearl snap shirts, none of them black, and a red bandana (if i can find it).

This morning was easily the worst I have felt all week. As bad as I felt this morning, I don't feel particularly bad this afternoon. I still have the cold, but it is more of a minor nuisance now. So at the moment, this is probably the best that I've felt all week.

The really odd thing was that this day has progressed about the slowest of any day in my life. I'd doze off and wake up a half hour later, but it would feel like several hours later.

I sure hope this problem with the perception of time resolves itself soon.

I've been coughing so much and so hard that my stomach muscles are quite store. I think that I've strained the stomach muscles at one location.

I hope you feel better soon. I had a bad cold a few years ago in which the latent coughing was so intense and uncontrollable that it resulted in aggravating a mild hernia I had into something that I ended up opting for surgery to correct. Horrible coughing fits.

I've often wondered: In theory, if every person on the planet isolated themselves from others for a period of a few weeks, would diseases like the common cold become extinct?

That's a really good question.

Of course, anything that is zoonotic would survive. For example, it wouldn't do anything about Influenza, plague, tularemia, hantavirus, rabies, ebola, Marburg, llasa fever, West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, ... .
