So, Tim's got proper unable-to-get-out-of-bed flu. He's had it since Thursday. I've had an on-and-off sore throat since the tenth of December, and have been feeling lethargic and coughing for the last couple of days, but not as severely as Tim. Kitty-the-ferret (yes, ferrets can get human colds and flu - they are used in medical research) has been coughing and wheezing all morning. Wellesley-the-ferret is so far looking unaffected.
The question is, for how long will we all be infectious? We have several vulnerable family members that we musn't infect with flu, but would like to see them for Christmas. Anyone know if we're no longer in the transmitting-germs state?
