DH and I have collected the nastiest Flu we have had for years, probably from a neighbor who recently hosted his son’s funeral – which attracted a lot of relations from other states. I’ve realised that funerals usually involve multiple hugs, pecks on the cheeks, and deep and meaningful conversations, all of which are brilliant for passing on contagious ailments.
I’ve never thought of funerals as a health risk, completely separate from the reason for the death. I feel half dead myself at the moment!
Feel better soon.
Also Weddings , birthday parties etc . Any event people feel they don’t want to miss is always a risk of catching somethlng.
You know, I think the Japanese get it right. They bow to each other out of respect. No need for the hugging and kissing and disease spreading.
I hope you and your husband feel better soon.
I’m totally with Burnt on liking distance , I still stand back in line and wish the person behind me in line would .
My DH travels to Japan for work . He laughs about they wear a mask when they have a cold , but they blow smoke in each others’ faces when they are on a smoke break outside the office . Smoking is very prevalent there.
That's been my policy for 20 years. It works.
I hope you get well soon!
