I had NASTY colds this summer and fall, but I have been cold free (knock virtual wood) since, despite, among other things, being exposed to -sick coworkers (ok I probably did the same to them when I had my cold in Sept) -being extremely overtired and flying through 5 different cities (Thank you, American) after the big mid-Feb storm and -cuckoo weather fluctuations in New England this winter.

I was taking airborne like a fiend in the fall. Since then I have only taken it a few times but I too think it helps immensely. It gives just an extra boost, but you have to be very attuned to yourself and take it the moment you notice ANYTHING amiss. For me, if I already have a sore throat, that's too late. No, I have to notice the very faint almost indescribable feeling I get before the sore throat.

But, yes, it has been going around ALL OVER the country... perhaps even affecting our friends to the North. Strange indeed.
