So now it's my turn. On Monday I contracted the somewhat seasonal Rhinovirus-implied Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.....I caught a stooopid cold!
Quite a few years ago I decided to impose night time quarantine at home when one of us would get sick, usually lasting about a week. I would immediately move to the guest bedroom on such an occasion so as to leave my wife free and clear of exposure (or vice versa) while we slept. We would of course also follow sanitary guidelines such as no sharing of towels, frequent hand washing, no touchee, and definitely no kissee/kissee (ok, no sexxx either of course!).
Aside from driving my dog Bodi crazy.....he doesn't know which one of us he wants to sleep with so he's up and down all night...argggh!....it's worked out fairly well. As opposed to pretty much a 100% chance of passing on the illness to each other, it's now a little better than 50/50. In fact in the last two "outbreaks" it wasn't passed on at all! What do you guys and gals do...."fack it, if it happens, it happens, not my problem"?!?
