Good question! I’ve never thought about this before but if everyone was testing regularly for the common cold and everyone was ‘cold tested’ on hospital admission/during hospital stays, and any death within 28 days of a positive ‘cold test’ were counted in the same way that Covid deaths are then I imagine the answer to “Do colds kill 100k people a year?” would probably be ‘Yes’.Do colds kill 100k people a year? Is there 'long cold'? Where the impact of a cold stays with you for years leaving you with damaged heart and lungs?
“Is there long cold……..” I believe there is, yes. More commonly referred to as post viral fatigue. Viruses and the immune system response they trigger can and do cause other longer lasting issues. They’ve never been made such a fuss of previously though.
Is this for anyone testing positive in a PCR?They tell you if it’s the new variant
