The Great Detroit Nos sniffles: What Plague Art Thou?
Ah, Detroit. Motor City. Soul City. Now, apparently, the city that also boasts a mystery illness! Fear not, fellow citizens (and hypochondriacs like myself), because we're here to crack the medical code and emerge victorious from this tissue-filled warzone.
So, what exactly is this mystery ailment?
Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. There's been whispers of the "Farewell Flu," a strange cousin of the influenza that lingers longer than a bad roommate. Some folks are talking about a "Zombie Stomach Bug," which sounds terrifying but probably just involves a night spent worshipping the porcelain throne. There's even a rumor about a case of the "Social Media Sadness," but that one might just be me after accidentally liking my ex's vacation photos.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
