There was a monkeypox preparedness exercise held in March 2021.

Apparently, it “simulated” a start date of a pandemic, to be May 15, 2022.

The exercise “simulated” a vaccine-resistant monkeypox outbreak that was a biological warfare attack. Who were the participants? Same old people from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, China CDC, and so on.

Happy Virus Appreciation Day everyone 🎉🎉🎉

Introducing the Rhinovirus 🦏 👃

An accurate description of what I got up to last weekend. 

This sickness bug has been travelling its way around uni and at some point it caught me.

Symptoms include: frequent coughing and occasionally cough up clear fluid, congestion but still only clear snot ect and finally nausea/vomiting. Along with usual fatigue.

Verdict: probably a virus since no signs of green gunk (despite what in the picture, this was used for pure contrast and gross out effect heh)

Treatment: take a sickie and dont go to uni. Lots of fluids, mostly hot lemon ginger tea. Some anti-congestants, panadol. SLEEP AND RESTORATION!

Also watched the greatest showman with my family for good measure :)

I'm not a doctor, if your sick please go see a real one.

When the weather changes, especially during colder months, many of us start experiencing sardi (common cold). It might begin with a runny nose, sneezing, or a sore throat. Even though it’s usually a mild illness, it can make daily life uncomfortable and slow down our routine for a few days.

I wanted to write a simple post about why colds happen and how we can take care of ourselves when they do.

What is Sardi (Common Cold)?

Sardi, or the common cold, is a viral infection that affects the nose and throat. It’s usually caused by viruses like rhinoviruses, which spread easily from one person to another.

The infection spreads mostly through tiny droplets in the air when someone coughs or sneezes. It can also spread by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face, especially your nose or mouth.

Because the virus spreads easily, colds are very common during seasonal changes and winter.

Common Symptoms

Most people experience similar symptoms when they catch a cold. These symptoms usually appear gradually and last for a few days.

Some of the most common symptoms include:

Runny or blocked nose

Sneezing

Sore throat

Mild fever

Cough

Headache

Body fatigue

For many people, the symptoms are mild and go away within 5–7 days, but proper rest and care can help speed up recovery.

Simple Home Remedies

One of the best things about dealing with a cold is that there are several simple home remedies that can provide comfort and relief.

Some helpful remedies include:

Drinking warm fluids like herbal tea, ginger tea, or warm water with honey and lemon

Taking enough rest so the body can fight the infection

Steam inhalation to relieve a blocked nose

Eating light and healthy foods like soups, fruits, and vegetables

Warm drinks and soups can help soothe the throat and keep the body hydrated, which is important when fighting any infection.

Why Rest Matters

When you have a cold, your body is actively working to fight the virus. Rest allows your immune system to focus its energy on recovery. Skipping sleep or pushing yourself too hard can sometimes make symptoms last longer.

Even taking a short break from regular activities can help your body recover faster.

Prevention Tips

Although catching a cold is very common, a few simple habits can help reduce the chances of getting sick.

Here are some easy prevention tips:

Wash hands regularly with soap and water

Avoid close contact with people who are sick

Keep your immune system strong with healthy food and enough sleep

Stay hydrated throughout the day

During cold seasons, taking care of your body and maintaining good hygiene can make a big difference.

Final Thoughts

Sardi or the common cold is something most of us experience from time to time. While it may be annoying, it usually isn’t serious and goes away on its own with proper care.

Listening to your body, resting, and staying hydrated are often the best ways to recover. And sometimes, a warm cup of tea and a cozy blanket can make all the difference.

Colds may prepare the immune system to fight future infections, including COVID-19.
