If they're well enough to get to the office they don't have flu. They have a cold.

Feggin' permie wusses

What do you know about athletes foot?

It's a fungus and if it's covering most of your foot go to the doctor to confirm it is.

Indeed. There are 200 varients of the virus before you start taking the victims circumstances in to account.

I meant pretty serious in the "can genuinely knock you off your feet for a few days" (but not actually serious) category - a cold isn't just the sniffles. Though you're right, you can die from a cold in the wrong circumstances.

Only if they turn into something else. Doesn't happen to most people but does happen to a few.....

Mind you when I was permie I use to infect people with more than the common cold though it wasn't typhoid....

What are you on about?
