[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you're complaining about the in-laws making you sick, but you're still going on a plane and will likely infect a bunch of people yourself?

Colds happen. Short of living in total isolation, it's a fact of life. I guarantee you will not be innocent in your cold-incubation period, and will probably be directly responsible for making at least a few others sick. C'est la vie.

When you are a guest in someone's home, it's common courtesy to let them know if you are sick, so you can give others the choice as to whether or not they should have you. These are the same people who would not let us know when they were sick, and infect my asthmatic daughter, throwing her life - and ours - into sleepless hell for a couple weeks at a time. They did not believe she had asthma you see, so it was never really a problem in their eyes.

When not coughing nor snotting,  I should not infect people. I am very careful about using wipes, etc. to make sure I keep surfaces clean and disinfected. When outside, the transmission rate of the common cold is very low, around 10%, according to my daughter's pulmonologist. Covering one's nose and mouth goes a long way.
