Question

Respiratory conditions are common, both here in the United States and across the globe. For many, it is challenging to determine whether they are suffering from a common cold, the flu, or, most recently, COVID-19, which are all caused by a virus. For this discussion, explore these three conditions. Identify what specific structures of the respiratory system are affected. Explain how each condition affects ventilation and mucus production. Are there other signs and symptoms that distinguish each condition from the others? Then discuss whether you believe that it is important for the public to be aware of the differences, and what the potential risks are of self-diagnosing. Remember to support your discussion with a minimum of one credible reference. Please include reference.
