I experienced very little illness, winter or otherwise, during the coronacrisis. I had two fevers that lasted on average 4 days. I had a case of mild bronchitis that lasted 3 or 4 weeks. On average, I tend to have more cold/flu/rinopharyngitis in normal winters and often a bit of bronchitis. I'm a light smoker. I wore a fake mask poorly when I was forced to. I took a number of parapharmaceutical prophylatics like zinc, vitamins C and D and quercetine. Regular intense sport but less overall physical activity. Diet with tons of animal fat and a fair amount of cooked vegetables. Drank surely too much alcohol. No vaccines or medical procedures except regular dental care. I worked from home 60% of the time but literally jumped on every opportunity to socialize with like minded people. If I had to bet real money: the rather favourable outcome was due mostly to home office and the reduced stress.
