The plague is on me

[rattfan]

This is what makes me believe in transmission of disease via computer.   I have a cold.  At least two friends (whom I have not seen recently enough for either to be the vector) have a cold.  A third person has Something;  not sure if it's a cold.  Now we've all posted about our ailments!  Surely the germs have to be travelling via the Internet.

I've been coughing for two days and hoping it wouldn't get worse.  Did go to work as I thought the cough was it and I mostly don't go around people close enough to infect them anyway.  Have own mug and spoon and tea bags.  So last night the congestion has built right up and I'm sneezing like mad.  I've got the next two days to get better before I have to decide whether to go into work on Friday or not and will try to manage today without going near a shop - out of milk - which would only spread the germs further.  I do have tea.

Dammit! Recover well and quick!

Er; will try. Feels like I have a swamp in my chest. Does this sound like what you have/had? I should be making encouraging noises back to you. [makes encouraging noises]

Thank you!

Yeah, pretty sure I can't be the vector, it was over a week ago and I didn't see you for that long. Besides mine hasn't gone heavy on the chest.

No, no, neither of you are the vector, I'm sure, unless it really does get transmitted through screens! Why are we all sick, I ask myself? Blehhhhhh. Fred Mouse confirmed symptoms match what they had, but we hadn't been in contact at all until very briefly this morning.

Try to sleep propped up. Raw garlic and zinc is helping this on for me.

Urgh, I think it's the time of year (although idk how that applies to where you are as you don't have the crappy weather in December!) Mark is super sick as well and so far I've miraculously not caught it but I'm just WAITING for it to finally get me in time for the weekend D: I hope you recover quickly at least!
