Drink more liquids but not more solids

The photo has little connection to the discussion although it is a rabbit. MyLotter LooeyVille (@LooeyVille) wrote querying, tongue in cheek, if there is such a thing as an ‘uncommon’ cold. We hear a lot about the common cold so maybe there is an uncommon one. When it comes to colds, we’re advised to drink more liquids, which is good advice except that it would be pretty hard to drink more solids. And, as this is so short, I’ll add a joke I thought was clever. A priest, a minister and a rabbit went into a blood clinic to give blood. They each were asked their blood group and the rabbit said he was Type O. For those for whom English is their second language, jokes like this usually start off with ‘a priest, a minister and a rabbi’ as ‘rabbit’ is a ‘typo’.

Nice joke! Uhm... we've been hearing about a new type of cold and it's called and uncommon cold by some people. Here's an article if you're interested:

@DaddyEvil I've read the article now. Thanks for that. People from the village coming home from a cruise now have covid, some for the second or third time.

Most people probably wouldn't even hear the rabbit thinking instinctually it was rabbit. They would have thought they misheard.

Yes I have always heard to definitively keep your liquids in you when you have a cold I always heard drink orange juice and also a apple a day keeps the doctor away as well as when you have a cold a good bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Chicken soup is always recommended for colds, isn't it? There must be some truth in its goodness.

There are some strange breeds of rabbits out there. There is a huge variety in most types of animals, isn't there? All the breeds of sheep, horses, cows, etc.

Ahahaha. I liked the joke! I guess you can drink more solids by liquifying them or blending them.

The rabbit doesn't look much like a rabbit at all. Here is another unusual one. Actually, I think it is the same breed as the grey one.

They say men are big sissies when they get cold, so I guess a common cold is for women and the “holy crap I’m gonna DIE!!!!!!!!!!!” cold is for men.
