Ok, that's true; this is clearly some head cold that we shared and will no doubt end there. And, to make SURE of that, I am home from work. Nice thing about working for the health dept, they don't give you crap about sick days, you get these like 'you're awesome!' emails. I personally stop what I am doing and praise anyone, no matter where I am for 'proper' coughing technique. I am a pandemic influenza expert, so you can imagine.

While I understand your concern, as someone employed in public health I feel I must tale the time to point out that this tactic wouldn’t work. This was a mild virus, once exposed, we have/will develop an immunity to it. The common cold is, in fact, hundreds of different viruses (which is also why there is no ‘cure’ other than just getting it and developing naturally antibodies). Clean the apartment makes sense if we were expecting company, but once he brought it home, it was all over- he would have been ‘infecting’ me even before he himself was symptomatic. Thus, once I saw he was sick, I knew I was ‘doomed’.
Now…who let sfdrw out of his cage?! Back, beast! [sm=poke.gif]
You didn't specify a rhinovirus. There are plenty of viruses that can be gotten more than once.
