I have a cold

I just spent the last week getting over mine. I'm still kind of bronchitis-y.

I recommend saline nasal spray to loosen up huge blockages for ejection, a strategic decision to stop blowing your nose and just start swallowing the endless mucous while sitting up during the phase of runniness, not being fooled by the mild bronchitis eye of the storm into thinking it's over, and lots of tea and Watership Down to prevent you from killing yourself.

The characters are caught by a disease, the disease that the Song is failing and has failed its people

As the novel progress they pick up more and more followers who all have a personal story about how corrupt the society is and how morally unjust people become.

Since they are rebels the government sent an army to do battle with them. After some exchange the rebels are granted amnesty and recruited to fight the barbarians

Song is the body, it is ill.
It produces symptoms of sickness.
As the body fight the intruders it slowly responds with all its might to fight the foreign bodies, with some loss of the body's own members, the foreigners are driven out.


You should rest if you are sick. The body needs energy to fight.

what a horrible mistake. i take heart that at least now people know that's a bad idea...even if it doesn't stop most of them at least some people get it. imagine thousands and thousands of people dying sick in a city, every day.
That book sent me on a learning jag about viruses and I'm still fascinated by those evil little fuckers.

books on affluenza? i'd say Against the Grain would be a good book for that.

Also known as Au Rebours, since whenever i suggest it, no one can find it on fucking google.

>now people know that's a bad idea
They knew then! The guys from hopkins warned the mayor specifically!

Yes, but a military parade had little chance of being cancelled. And wasn't there that boat full of sick sailors they let out into the city? Well, at least individual people know more, more of us do, even if it's a small percentage. But people overlook how deadly influenza can be because it's "just the flu", but it's only a step or two from being disaster movie bad.
