Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
For the person whose son went skiing with the flu, I am glad your son got along so well. But DH is age 68 with a lowered immune system due to Humira so his situation is much more serious. Plus, I think someone with the flu needs to stay home for some period to avoid spreading the virus.
I'm glad you said it.
From the CDC:
People with flu are most contagious in the first three to four days after their illness begins. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick.
Back in my flying days, if you were sick, you couldn't fly (especially with a cold). So, the crew schedulers would put these sick fools with folks that weren't sick in the simulator (aka a very small confined box) for two days, 4 hours each day. How do you think that worked out?
