We tried the app (called Queue), it pairs pretty easily with your friend but you have to make an account to use it. The app asks for the streaming platforms you have but still suggests movies that aren’t on the services, so I guess in that regard it was a bit of a dud. 3/10, good idea, clean layout, needs a lot of work.
My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He’s also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he’s just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.
