Their infectiousness is not proved either.
If you don't know what made them look like death, you don't know if it is a communicable disease do you?
Just take more vitamin C and chill.
Stressing about other people's possible state of health will make you ill.
Also, there is no telling that the ill person is not actually very aware of infection and due to washing their hands after coughs and sneezes, may well have the cleanest hands of us all and therefore stands more chance of catching something off the pda rather than the other way round..... just a thought.
P.S are there any jobs going with RMCHAT police ?

Yes, but all our mail goes through many processes, and that doesn't mean it's always ends up right.dvbuk55 wrote:Hang on LL you've got me worried there!

Once they touch the PDA it will be a source for infection for the rest of the day, possibly infecting me and other people on the round.

Re: Infectious householders!!
Back on topic, if you have ill relatives you tend to try and avoid getting too close and sharing drinks etc like you normally would, so why is it much different. If someone is really ill in bed they could just come to the window or something and say leave the item.
