Be Not Afraid (of sniffles or sneezes)

God, in His infinite and unbounded wisdom, has seen fit to smite me with a plague. Lo, I am taken with sniffling and sneezing and a hoarse, hacking cough. To be quite frank, I am not overly concerned. God giveth and God taketh away, and God hath given me the strength to destroy his bacterial foe! Nay, a pox on the pox! Fear not, humble reader, for I shall prevail. No uppity virus is going to stop me!
