PD

Well, considering he lives in Texas, and it is early September, perhaps Gazpacho soup?

The peppers and onions might be rather hard on their compromised systems.

My second round of meds has done better than the first. I've had a real victory today. I managed to complete what was my regular walk. I walked slowly and took breaks, but I got it done without a massive coughing fit. And I'll take that as a win!

Very good. Carry on!

Well, it has been six weeks, but I finally consider myself well or well enough. I took my morning walk at a continuous pace without the aid of medicine and did not have a coughing fit. FINALLY.

I still have an occasional cough, but yeah good enough.

Excellent news, David! Very good!

Re: cough, not Covid related --- after turning 40 I began having a sensitive throat and there have been instances when I've continued coughing long after all other symptoms of flu disappeared completely (like, one whole month after); in the worst of them I couldn't even utter more than a few words before coughing prevented me from talking anymore --- but fortunately these cases were rare.

Apparently the "challenge" lies in the fact that many people who report long-COVID *symptoms* (as defined by WHO) have no history of COVID-19. This suggests that the WHO definition may be overbroad and tends to include people who really have something else.
