I have relatives who are 90+ and they get sick, but have never been bed bound for 2 weeks with the cold, it simply isn't a cold, why are we pretending it is?
Prince Philip is ore or less hanging by a thread and yet he was over this "cold" in a few days, but The Queen who is in much better health is somehow unable to shake it after 2 weeks? I'm sorry I don't buy it.”

She may have the type of heavy cold that then leads to a hacking cough and coughing fits. I, unfortunately, end up with coughing fits every time I have a cold. As a result, I often have to cancel my public appearances (teaching), as appearing to be dying from coughing in the middle of a lecture or class is not a good look.”
Indeed not a good look for anyone especially someone as dignified as the queen.
