Days of sweating, especially night sweating (absolutely the worst), then showering to cool down or heat up, and fever kept going away coming back but it's finally finished now and I feel good again, yeeehaw ๐Ÿค 

Some people said when they come to China after a year away or so, they always get sick the first few weeks as they have their own localized flu strains, big if true

Definitely recommend wearing an N95 mask if you just enter China and go on planes at least during boarding because a lot of people are coughing and they don't wear masks so odds you catch something is high I think

Comparatively: we were in Japan for weeks just before China, there was lots of coughing there too, but they all wore masks so I didn't get sick

Now the China video posting shall continue....
