Nasty cold going around NYC

[ShortCutie7]

I’ve had it for over a week now… I initially thought it was just allergies since my only symptom for the first few days was mild congestion but it’s turned into deep congestion with a cough. A ton of people around are coughing and sneezing, so there’s definitely something going around. Be careful out there, New Yorkers!

Yeah, I had something like that a couple weeks ago. I knew it wasn't allergies because I had a sore throat first for a couple days and then a stuffy nose. It was odd though as I was blowing my nose a lot but it wasn't stuffy to the point where I couldn't breathe through my nose even when I was laying down in bed to sleep.

Yep. Some of my older gay friends have caught it and it seems really bad. A couple of them have unfortunately ended up at the hospital.

FWIW this is 100% for sure not related to anything gay or sexual… I haven’t had any sort of intimate contact since June. But I gave whatever I have to my mother (who is older) so thanks for the warning that it could get serious!
