It’s everywhere. In the UK they are calling it the “hundred day cough”.

Whooping cough (German: Keuchhusten). Just checked. Charite says Germany is having an outbreak as an effect of the Covid immunocompromise.
Geez.
I thought I was being paranoid. Like, why doesn't this cold just go away? And nearly 40°C fever for days.
it's so terribly yawn though, 18 years ago there was whooping cough in my house... my mother got it way worse than me
people generally don't realise that these things happen pretty regularly, and surviving it usually has to do with diet and mental state
btw, one of the best cures for fever is chilli
i mean, eat it until it causes the burning ring of fire
it makes you sweat, and that breaks the fever
btw, yes, i had this same "whooping cough" infection nearly 20 years ago, it's no big deal really, but just wanted to mention that at that time i learned that piling in chilli kills the fever and stops the sickness if it is febrile
btw, there is Science™️ to this
chilli raises your core body temperature above what it would otherwise be
fever infections cause your sweat response to stop, thus you feel like you are on fire
the chilli pushes it over that line, and you sweat, and the cooling kills the temperature because the virus can't replicate in cooler conditions
i know it sounds loony, but it works
I think it works with just about anything spicy.
When I was scheduled to give my first big presentation at my first engineering job (not counting an internship), I came down with a fever. I ran home, heated a bowl of gumbo, drenched it with Louisiana hot sauce, sweated out the fever, and went back to work fever free and able to give a great presentation.
Gumbo became my goto for sickness and especially fevers. Sometimes when I don't have the good stuff, I just drown a bowl of canned chicken noodle soup in hot sauce and that will work almost as well.
Yeah, I’ve read that the lockdowns (and perhaps the inoculations) may be to blame. Who knows. Doubt the governments would want to entertain either idea.
I don’t see it much here in Florida- but I have family in Australia that say that it’s super bad there as well. Kids sick constantly, worse than usual.
