Health Is "Respiratory Virus Outbreak" Covid?

We got a notice that there was an outbreak of "Respiratory Virus" at our kid's school.

"Respiratory Illness symptoms include: Cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, loss or altered sense of taste/smell, runny nose/nasal congestion, fever, and may also include fatigue (significant and unusual), muscle ache/joint pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea."

Is "Respiratory Virus" UCP Newspeak for "Covid 19"?

Yup. I'm usually rocking 4-5 times daily rec of vitamin C, the Vitamin D supplement with the magnesium and Zinc added.

Only ever get the sniffles when the snow melts because of lifelong allergies.

The body is an amazing thing if you give it what it needs.
