Scared of catching the you-know-what…. Some may be on chemo or have an immune disorder though so don’t be disrespectful if you don’t know. I think it would be worse to cause bacteria to grow in the lungs and better to stay away from people especially crowds indoors as much as possible if there is a higher chance of catching something from others.

@Nimbus Strep throat is going around now in schools and probably the flu soon too. When people eat a lot of sweets during the holidays it seems they are more vulnerable and being in large stores with crowds of people just spread it around. I remember several years ago there was a combination of strep throat and flu that was going around and several people died, including a child in a nearby city. Some were hospitalized because they got so sick from the combination. My friend had several serious health issues and caught the flu and died and that’s why the boy lives with us for the past 9 years. I am making him rooibos tea which helps strengthen the immune system by creating more white blood cells. I don’t hear anything about strep going around in high school like it did when he was in grade school, he caught it several times back then.
