All I know is I’m still coughing, 3 of 4 in my house have been sick and everyone I know can name multiple people in their lives that have recently been sick. More so than I can ever remember. Southern New Jersey here. I missed 2 days of work 12 days ago and I still have a nagging little smokers cough. I never fucking get sick but it was the days after our Christmas party where I’m shaking the hands of people I don’t even like.
I just got sick, again, with a nasty chest cold this week, after getting over a nasty chest cold last month. Both have resulted in a relentless dry cough, which becomes quite painful and takes a long time to go away.
Lots of weird stuff about this crud.
(1) I haven't been sick in 5ish years, and now I've been sick twice in two months.
(2) I never, ever get chest colds. Back when I did get sick, it was only ever a cold of the nasal area, which usually turned into a sinus infection after a week, which took another week or two to get better from (I've been susceptible to sinus infections ever since I worked in a horrible job site without a dust mask many many years ago).
(3) I rarely developed a cough when I got sick, and if I did it was mild and only lasted a day or two.
(4) Taking high doses of vitamin D3 and C doesn't help, even though it's helped tremendously on all previous infections when began doing it, in reducing symptoms and getting better quicker.
(5) It's reduced my appetite, which never happens to me when I get sick. Nothing feels appetizing and eating seems to make the symptoms worse.
(6) It's made me really weak. I have almost no energy, I'm really sore like I just did a marathon, and I can barely move. This stuff has knocked me on my ass, unlike any other cold I've experienced.
Several of my family members have gotten this, whatever this is, over the last month. I definitely give credence to the possibility that the fuckers in power are releasing more genetically engineered bioweapons on the public, whether by air or water. There's already tons of precedence for this and they're straight up evil anyway.
If zinc has helped me get better, it's been so negligible I haven't noticed. I've tried multiple different brands to no avail. Some people respond better than others to supplementation, and need different things.
In any case, zinc hasn't helped me recently, either. Even regular cold/flu medicine which helps to combat symptoms isn't as effective, either. Like I said, this crap is weird.

Try zinc as well. I take C and zinc and it helps with most everything, I get vitamin D naturally as I'm outside all the time so I don't take it.
