Reply to comment by x_BryGuy_x in If I am just recovered from a typical cold (5 days long / 2 days off work), am I now more immune to all infections for a period of time, or less? by [deleted]

I am curious... if someone wanted to be sick for 3 months straight without doing too much damage to themselves, what would be the best set of viruses to utilize?

A bit like drugs, you would want to cycle viruses that damage or strain different parts of your body compared to each other, but also ensure the harm caused is not permanent.

Similar to how one could drink a bit, then take cocaine while they give their liver a break, pop some sleeping pills while their heart has a rest etc…

You could go for a cold, followed by a tummy bug, maybe get a mild ear infection, then go back to colds again! Hell you could even chuck chlamydia in there at some point too - but that is getting less treatable these days.
