   Just wanted to give my regular shout out to Oxfam's Online Bookshop - they have some great stuff available, the website is easy to use & its all going to a good cause.

   So if you have a book habit you cannot break, why not ensure the money doesn't go in the corporate coffers, and ends up doing some good.

   the website is here:

   Its a bit more complicated than that. If we had said "flu" then yes, for sure. But a cold isnt caused by a specific class of viruses or even one.It is a set of symptoms.

   A cold is essentially infalamation of the mucosa membranes that is **not** caused by a specific virus or class of viruses. It is a set of symptoms that many different viruses all cause.

   So its a bit more nuanced than that because literally what we call the common cold comes from damn near anything, including coronaviruses.
