What exactly does the cold virus do to me to make me so weak?

I'm not the person you responded to but since you're a physician, presumably with legitimate qualifications, I wanted to ask...

I've been contemplating starting a weight loss youtube channel, both to motivate me to lose weight and to spread what you referred to above as "Health Literacy" similar to the way that the guy that you commented at did. My goal would be to show methods of weight loss that are more rooted in science while avoiding or even debunking certain methods that you would often see in ineffective fad diets. I guess my question is, how could some one like me who is just a regular joe, without any qualifications, make sure that the information that I am sharing in my videos is accurate and not misinformed and what sort of things could I do to make it understandable for the laymen?

I’ve been browsing YouTube a lot and lately I’ve fallen into a loop of videos where uploaders ‘rescue’ sea turtles by cleaning their shells of debris and barnacles. These turtles look suspiciously like pond sliders, is that even possible? Could breathing through the mouth alter a 13 year olds face and if so how long would it take? When nucleons bind to form a nucleus, does each nucleon "retain ownership" over its quarks (is each nucleon a truly unique entity)? Or is it possible for quarks to swap from one nucleon to another? Or does it not make sense to talk so exactly about them? Do other terrestrial planets have metals like gold, silver, etc? Why does coding work? As microchips get smaller and smaller, won't single event upsets (SEU) caused by cosmic radiation get more likely? Are manufacturers putting any thought to hardening the chips against them?
