    I was riding high after reading Alvin's virus info and tonight a friend
    of mine came over. He said he had "food poisoning" two or three days
    ago from eating a bad slice of pizza. I cannot verify whether what he
    had was food poisoning or norovirus, but before and after I learned
    this, I was observing good handwashing habits and such, so I wasn't too
    worried.



    After he left, I felt proud I had not kicked him out or anything =P.
    Well anyway, I poured a cup of iced tea, and went away from it for a
    second. When I came back, I picked up a cup and started drinking; only
    to find that the tea was a bit warm and watery. Of course I had managed
    after all that safety to drink straight from his cup! I am really
    hoping I don't catch it from that, because I was doing very well for a
    while there.

    Don't worry, you're safe.

    If he's been better for two or three days then you won't catch it that way. An infected person can still shed the viruses in feces after thee days, so keep up with the good handwashing, but as long has he has recovered accidentally taking a sip from his cup probably won't infect you.
