Re: sickness going arround championship
I seem to have contracted a cold towards the end of Championships, but it's clearing up now. Not much worse than a sore throat and some coughing.
I did not eat any of the stadium food, because it's horrendously overpriced and disgusting.

Thank you for actually knowing what you're talking about. The whole "vitamin C for stopping illness" business is depressingly divorced from reality.
On the other hand, there does appear to be reasonably good experimental evidence for zinc reducing cold duration, though they've got no idea what the mechanism of action is.
