Yesterday I started sneezing and by later in the day I was incessantly blowing my nose, sneezing repeatedly, and my eyes felt puffy. The last time I was out in public (with a mask!) Was back on Veterans Day, November 11th. Yesterday was the 23rd. 12 days. Could a cold virus take that long to show symptoms? I'm at a loss in figuring out how I got a cold? From retrieving the mail after it's been delivered??
