Yeah, most people aren't aware of it, but that's exactly the problem with this object fixation we've been doing as a society...when all you do is look at Covid, you can easily convince yourself that Covid is unusual and terrifying.

I personally still have a wheeze (slight, but it's there) from a cold I had years ago. If someone asked me to self-report it as part of a "long-haul rhinovirus" study I might, but nobody ever looks for that.
