Our rural county, according to our regional newspaper the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, is reporting infection rate this week at slightly over 1/1,000. Conditions are much better now, until they get worse.

I don't think it's going to get worse. I think we are past that, and that this will be akin to a seasonal thing, like the flu.

It doesn't show much evidence for seasonality that I can see.  Waves seem to come about every three months, last two months, and then abate.

That might not be true once it is no longer seen by our bodies as novel and settles into its long-term endemic phase.  I suspect it'll behave more like all of the other coronaviruses our bodies fight off annually.

Could be since it is respiratory, akin to the others.

Could the end of the "common cold" be a thing here?

Covid has essentially turned into that for most people. Is Covid the new "common cold" moving forward?

It still has fatalities associated with it, I don't think CC does except perhaps with the very feeble.  It could be more akin to influenza in impact, something that can be very annoying and causes fatalities, but is not a threat for most of us.  I was surprised to learn that the flu can exhibit no or very mild symptoms in many cases.  And be deadly for some.

Yeah sure, could be.  The common cold is caused by a number of different viruses, some of them coronaviruses and some of them not.  That's one reason the symptoms vary from case to case, it's not always being caused by the same virus in one person or another.

I've not had a "cold" since December 2019. I know it's anecdotal, but I'm a guy that would get hammered by a "cold" 4 times a year (every season) and they would last a long time.

Now, nothing.

There has to be something to that, beyond not living in the frozen hell of Chicago anymore.

Could be?  But I can't recall ever having a cold, or the flu.  Could be related to your change in location.

When I was a kid I got strep throat a couple of times.

I had a pretty bad "cold/bronchitis" in France January 2020.  It was unpleasant though I wasn't bad sick, just a lot of mucus/coughing.  Plane flights have often gotten me sick.

I haven't felt sick since.  No kids in school is one factor.  Not being indoors all the time is another.

The symptoms were not what I read COVID is like at all.

Early COVID was supposed to be characterized by having a dry, hacking cough as one of its primary symptoms.  Non-productive. 

The most recent symptoms described by Omicron-infected folks tend to lead with a sore throat.  My 12yo son had a mild sore throat for about a half-day, which is why we got him tested.
