What is a cold (common) :

A common cold is an infection of your upper respiratory tract. It’s relatively harmless — but it usually doesn’t feel that way. If it’s not a runny nose, sore throat and cough, it’s watery eyes, sneezing and congestion. Or maybe all of the above. In fact, because any one of more than 200 viruses can cause a common cold, symptoms tend to vary greatly.

So I got another cold, it came pretty quick, Sunday night I went out to eat dinner with couple of my friends afterwards, I picked up the tab and a cold. Talk about a shitty deal. The worse part about getting a cold in a tropical island.. is the fact it’s a tropical island. One doesn’t think about getting a cold in this warmth and sunshine. Makes going to work even worse, especially when people ask what’s wrong with you. It like getting sunstroke in Alaska, which you can get by the way. The problem is Saipan is a big germ incubator, we have germs from all over the world coming in flights everyday. The germs mingle with other germs and spreads, in a typical flu season in a small town else were might hit once a year. In Saipan you can get hit with 3 to 6 different strains of flu in a season. All from different corners of the world, you get the weak Asian verity, comes in slow and linger on forever. The beefy American verity comes in fast and gone as soon as it came. Or the exotic European verity, not sure u have a flu till your head has inflated twice as big and your dripping constantly. I should be home asleep, but I am at my office, which is freezing btw. I think I’ll go next door and start to infect others, I figure misery loves company!
