Also interesting, after curing said first cold of the season, i began to start each day with a short (1-2min) bath in cold water. Started with 57°F a few weeks ago, now we're currently talking 50°F-ish inside the pool. I will continue this until the water starts freezing, then i plan to got to the lake at least every second morning.
When my fam caught the second cold (two kids still fading out the last symptoms), i felt a bit tired for a day and sneezed some times more than usual, but that was about it.
I also was feeling cold pretty fast in chilled environments, compared to other people, before. Now i tend to run around without a shirt at home and outside in the garden, i seem to not freeze anymore as quickly as in the past. Looking forward to winter with some days of 14-23°F outside.
I read before that these daily, cold baths/showers are said to strengthen the immune system. Also, not being able to do it for just a day already seems to make me miss it.
It has meditation-like qualities, when i exhale and simultaneously let myself sink into the water, down to shoulder level, followed by 10-20, slow and deep breaths, before i get out and my skin starts to feel hot, only seconds later.
EDIT: Now off to the WO, followed by a healthy, dream-rich #hodlsleep.
okay so since jan 2020 when me and the wife had the covid. no colds for either of us.
since may 2021 when me and the wife had the second flu shot no colds for either of us.
I go to the supermarket three times a week in Howell NJ a shoprite it also serves lakewood nj a town of 125000 ultra orthodox jews they are well under 35% vaxed. I am exposed to the air they breath in shoprite three times a week primarily they are not vaxed or masked as per current nj rules.
in the store now the workers are masked and me. I revel in the masks 🎭 truly joyful I can wear them as often as I want.
but i have had asthma issues since 2 i am now 64
I can go into a bank with a mask on. this real freedom unfortunately many don’t see it that way. my btc partner is wild anti vax and anti mask.. we are still partners and friends.
I have worked at this and can see a lot of good points about anti vaxing in some cases.
6-12 year forced vaxxed is likley wrong and statistically more harmful then no vaxing in that group.
If you are a 64 year old diabetic male 10 pounds over weight that smoked for thirty year get the vax it is likely the better guess.
one more fact not bullshit true fact.
the cdc voted 15 to 0 to not require booster shots if you are under 65 and don’t have a conditional immune issue.
These are doctors that specialize in contagious diseases.
voted 15 to 0 against the booster shots.
they were overruled by thr head of the cdc a doctor that biden can fire at the snap of his fingers.
so the 15 doctors with job protection said no booster.
the boss with no job protection says booster.
that is factual truth no bullshit.
in ny the new gov that replaced pussyhound coumo is going to fire non vaxxed health workers.
in six eight months i am sure she will fire non boosted health workers. - a guess not a facti ask any pro vaxer would you approve of this.
I won’t its wrong 15 to 0 vote says its wrong
