I feel like this is sort of asking someone "does this dress make me look fat?" to which there is only one answer ("no") but here are my thoughts.
as someone else mentioned, training provides structure. It also gives us the feeling of accomplishing something. "laying in bed resting and taking care of myself" does not have, for me at least, nearly the same feeling of accomplishment (or structure for that matter). There's also the endorphin withdrawal.
Fever = no training. Nose/sinus stuff I go swim because blowing air out your nose is a good way to get rid of boogers. YRMV.
edit to add: the best thing you can do is a 20 min walk or so when you've got a cold, boosts one's immune system w/o stressing it.
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
