Viral Fever

Just to let you know that we're still alive.

There haven't been that many updates here lately because there's a virus going around. Some of the people at home have cough, colds and a fever.

I'm not a doctor, but I remember one telling me before that if your fever recurs in the afternoon, you probably have a virus. Just the same, please see your health care provider particularly if your fever lasts more than 3 days.

As usual, drink lots of water and get enough rest. That means no television and no reading. Yes, that also means no blogging. :-)

I used to tell Adi to cover his mouth when he sneezes. But I dunno... Since the cold virus is more easily passed through handshakes than by kissing, I've asked Adi not to cover his mouth/nose when he sneezes. Instead, it might be better to just sneeze in an uninhabited place.

This way (or so I think), the virus will just get blasted into empty space where they will not last as long as when they are placed in your cupped hand.

What do you think?
