You're not a wimp at all, just scared. When my fiance got the noro off me last month, even though I'd had it 2 days before and knew I couldn't get it again (although I had to come on here just to double check) as would be immune, I still freaked out and was absolutely no use to him whatsoever and hid in the bedroom, even though he had told me he hates being s* on his own I just couldn't be near him and I felt rubbish for it but if we could turn off the emet just like that then we wouldn't all be on here.
Hope everyone in your house is feeling better now x
