[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing happened in my household this year. MIL came to stay with us even though she had a nasty cold with a hacking cough. Failed to warn us before her several hour drive. She then insisted on helping to cook all while coughing, blowing her nose, and licking her fingers. She also refused to take any cold medicine to lessen the cough. Sure enough 72 hours after she arrived I’ve got nasty cold and am miserable. I’m so pissed.[/quote]

Why didn't you or the husband or even any kids say anything to it?  Isolate the MIL, stick an n95 on her face, feed the meal on a plate in another room-send her home.  Sites state you can be covid contagious for 48 hours pre symptoms so anyone could be at a holiday gathering.   I'm currently covid + and fortunately have felt more sick continuously when I had bad colds, any flu, etc. But others + in the household were far worse.

Can you have covid and cold or flu simultaneously?    With each of the 3 you can be walking, talking, etc but really not be capable of a multi hour drive or be a hazard for 30 minutes on the beltway.  [/quote]
