    Macrophages just want to watch the whole body burn.

      From what I’ve read, anything over about 101F is doing more harm than good.

          38C is a nice handful, not a temperature.

        This does not appear to match the evidence anymore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7717216/

        The body is generally unable to raise the core temperature to the point where it can cause permanent damage, unless the ambient temperature is high. That is, unless there is a pre-existing heart or other vital organ condition.

        In fact, fevers >=39C (102.2F) showed better outcomes in covid patients.
