I’ve heard 3-4 different sick stories this week.

- My father was sick with d* v* on Monday night (although he believes it was from food, he still has d* today)

- a co-worker said he had a “nasty” illness on Sun night (he stayed home Mon, came back Tues, his voice is shot from v*ing). Doesn’t sound like his wife caught it, though.

- I had two Facebook friends posting about how sick they were. One visited family and had to change her flight home, the other is pregnant and thinks she got it from her toddler.

Is there a lot of illness going around, or am I just unlucky to hear this many stories in one week? I’m in the USA.
