Compare the average cell phone's battery life from the mid-90s with an iPhone's, then we can talk.
I'll grant you that this is comparing apples to oranges, but so are you...

My previous phone was ten years old when I retired it, and it still had a three week battery life!

If you drop an orange and it doesn't squirt juice everywhere is that a triumph of Rind over Splatter?

For BOTH of you: I won't join in.
I just want you to know that those post seem to be on the verge making me sick.

I got sick the 26th of last month. I had some cough and congestion, so I decided I wouldn't work out till I was feeling better. I went to work Friday, but after that was in bed.
It only got worse really. Cold inside, sweats, bad cough, fatigue, dizziness, etc. Saturday (28th) I went to the hospital. They thought it was strep cause my nodes were all swollen and so were my tonsils. I tested negative for strep so they sent me home.
I thought that was kind of odd. The only test they did was strep swab. No listening to the chest, no blood work, no nothing. It obviously wasn't a cold, but they said it was a virus and to come back if it got worse. Also that it would probably last 7 - 10 days, but I should start feeling better after a couple days. I got flonaze and some medicated logenzes.
I was in bed till Tuesday (31st) , even called off work. So the dizziness and extreme fatigue went away, but I still had a nasty cough, some sinus problems, chest congestion, and labored breathing. I was also still having some coughing fits that were pretty regular, and very extreme.
So I got back to the hospital Yesterday. No way I should still be sick, and nothing is changing at all. I'm getting so sick of coughing and feeling like crap. The doc listened to my breathing, even through the coughing. He said I have stuff in my lungs and the coughing isn't clearing the air ways. He says Bronchitis, and he's worried that it will turn into pnemonia.
I got a round of antibiotics, some stuff to surpress my cough since it isn't productive, more flonaze, mucinex, and a couple other things. I'm not allowed to exercise at all until I'm better. And if it's not getting better in a couple days I'm to report back.
I took the rest of Yesterday off after the doc, and I plan to go home after lunch today (I work 6-3 so there's only 2 hrs after lunch). I just want to rest and get better.
I'm tired of being sick.

Did they mention Ebola? The symptoms are similar to those you describe.

They did. I also had to answer a question if I'd come into contact with someone with ebola recently.

How do they expect you would know this?

I'm not sure. I answered no.
They also asked me if I'd left the country recently. Everyone knows the world is dirty outside 'Murica

That's exactly what I was going to suggest, if you hadn't said it. Three times, me.
If your breathing gets really bad, forget salbutamol and all the cr@p that doctors say will help, because they won't, and get some Friar's Balsam (benzoin tincture) to inhale. It'll get all the gunk out of your lungs in one go, letting you breathe well and giving you a chance to fight the bugs.
Doctors stopped prescribing it because of their knee-jerk "don't make the patient regurgitate!!!" thing; but it's not regurgitation, it's expulsion of excess fluid from the lungs (sit down quickly, after it works, because you'll get an oxygen high like you won't believe, when your airways clear).
