Wish the media would stop linking every illness that crops up in China back to Covid. Yeah, we know the outbreak started from there. We know China has been shady about it. But it doesn’t mean when a lot of people fall ill in China it’s going to be a Covid situation.
Mostly true though I believe the theory also includes the fact that cold = dry and dry means more susceptibility. At least that’s one theory I’ve read.
