    'Long colds' are a thing, like long Covid say experts

    "Long colds" can be a thing in the same way that "long Covid" is, with
    some people experiencing prolonged symptoms after an initial
    infection, according to a UK study.

    Not a surprise I guess. Wonder if it's always been that way, or if
    it's an evolution of the disease.

    I figured as such. People are used to the common cold, and no one
    "talks" about it. The COVID hysteria will come to pass... COVID is
    here to stay.

    On a different note, were these people "reinfected" by an external
    source, or did their body not eliminate completely the initial
    infection.

    People who've had Covid at least 5 times describe how the illness
    changed with each reinfection

    This has been known for years....I've not explored the VZV topic, but
    the reason for its reappearance is unknown to me


    "Shingles (herpes zoster) is an infection that causes a painful rash.
    It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). This is the same
    virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus
    stays in your body. It may not cause problems for many years."
