RSV in adults

I'm an unfortunate case in which I've been sick for a week now, with such bad chest congestion I can hardly sleep and sometimes I feel like I've got COPD with how little oxygen I get at times. I'm finally breaking up the chest congestion, but I've been closely watching for pneumonia.

I don't normally get sick, and I've got a great immune system. But this RSV has absolutely kicked my ass.... I read an article recently talking about how RSV is infecting more adults than usual this year, with higher likelihood of more severe symptoms than in the past.

RSV may not be as concerning for adults, but I certainly don't recommend it...
