Isolate for non Covid virus?

Glad you are feeling better. I HATE colds and plan to be much more cautious in the future to avoid them (more hand washing, no shaking hands, wearing masks inside, avoiding sick people, etc).

Thank you! I think even with all precautions (which I have done) there is no way to avoid the common cold and or flu without staying home. I am so glad DH did not get what I had.

Now I was hugging people again, may need to stop except for very close family. Darn it. But I have washed my hands until they are chapped and dry.

I have never been a "hugger" and now I have an excuse to say no to hugs that I don't want!

I sure hope people start staying home when they are sick. During most of my working career, if I stayed home from work I was often asked if I had been to the doctor. It wasn't a requirement that I go, but it was sort of looked at askance if I didn't. I think one reason was that my boss (same one for over 30 years) was someone who got sick very, very, very rarely. In over 30 years I could probably count on the fingers of one hand the times that he was sick. So, over the years, I knew that if I was sick it was best to drag myself to the doctor even if it was crystal clear to me that it wasn't something where they doctor could help....
