Congestion. Runny nose. Sneezing. Headache. Sore eyes. Scratchy throat. Dry cough. Digestion issues (enough said).

It sounds like I must have come down with the dreaded “Covid-19,” or any of the identical diseases it cannot be differentiated from, after my 16-day vacation … I must have encountered one of those invisible-to-the-naked-eye pathogenic boogeymen that was either floating freely through the air waiting to be inhaled at the exact right moment, or I must have touched a contaminated object of some kind where the “virus” was leisurely hanging out.

…However, there is a much more logical and rational explanation for what occurred to me after a very fun, yet exhausting, vacation. Let’s explore what this alternative is, and why there is no reason to even entertain a “virus” (or any other microbe) as part of the equation in the first place.
