To me it's a flu too. There are no cures for viruses, it commes and goes with the seasons, elderly seem to get ill faster and the rest just spreads it and continues life. Infected lungs is flu alike too.
First time I hear about those 10 months. Here they say 3 at max if it works with turns out not to be the case plus a part is suddenly infected.

We are heading towards the 3rd if not 4th season and with that viruses are usually getting weaker and part of life.

my winter that is...

If you ask me most people have autotism if not they are introverts, thinkers, those we call 'wallpaper flowers' or shy.
To me it's normal and extraverts are abnormal, toonoisy, too pushy, eat too much energy. Alone and single is good for me (plus I like to hear myself think and silence)

Happy day to you. 🍀💖👋
