A couple of acquaintances / colleagues and I have sore throats and feel achey. We haven't been close enough to one another recently to pass this between us. Or is it just coincidence and/or the impact of a/c v heat?

It's just the summer flu. I had it a couple of weeks ago.

Just like you get it in the UK when you go from the cold outside into the warm inside, it's reversed here. It still has the same effect though.

There is definately a bug going round darling.
Sunday lunchtime I started to get a sore throat, by Sunday night I could hardly talk.
Monday, I had to cancel my afternoon classes and I was in bed all day yesterday. Every muscle aching and a cough and running nose.
I am working today but am dragging myself around..roll on tonight when I can dose up with hot toddies and crawl back to bed
This comes on very quickly and wipes you out for atleast 48 hours!

Keep her inside darling, use antiseptic wipes, make sure your house is ultra clean. Make sure that you wash your hands and maybe use a facemask when you come home. Be careful about giving her anything not agreed by her doctor, even homeopathic stuff xxx
