Cold/ respiratory thing that's going around...

Is this happening to anyone else? I haven't been this sick in SO many years. Chest cold, head cold, then chest cold again. I'm on my 10th day and it's just marginally better. Retired so I have the "luxury" of laying around all day and have been resting, drinking gallons of hot tea and eating soup. I started to wheeze yesterday plus the coughing has been particularly nasty so I went to the ER finally, and the waiting room was full of hacking people. I turned around and walked back out. Pcp says to stay put, keep doing what I'm doing, and it will pass. I am sooooo tired of this. My dog needs a decent walk, my house is a mess, neighbors are offering to help out but damn it, I'm the one who does that kind of thing for them. I hate this! I just want to feel better. Sorry, just venting...

Commiseration welcome, just so I don't feel as though I'm alone in this gunk. 🤧

Edited: Wow, whatever this is certainly is making its rounds. 😑 I had my flu vaccine in October, and covid one in November. I've also tested twice for covid (negative). I never get sick, so this really has me flat on my butt... wheezing seems to be better today, and I've decided that if I have a fever I will go back to ER or to urgent care; but, for now, shelter in place.

And thank you all for the kind words!
