The usual flu virus.

Just waited for it to go away.

I don't know.
< e. How many people are you aware that you spread it to?
I don't know.

I am sure that they figured it out soon by themselves.

None.
<
< 2. Are you using any precautions to prevent yourself from becoming infected
< with a virus?
< a. If so, what are those precautions?
Avoid sick people.

< a. If so, how?
I don't see why I should.
