In other, more personally dangerous news:

Officially, all the children in my family--that would be three (3) nieces, one (1) nephew, and one (1) son--are coughing, sniffling, using the nearest object as receptacle for the contents of their stomach, or hoarsely muttering about their sore throat (or non-verbal shrieks as the age might be).

I understand that the world of germs is not actually out to get me, but okay, understand != believe, and that's five (5) mobile bacteria factories, one of whom I'm legally responsible for keeping alive through this (and probably morally required to keep the other ones going). Good God, I hate when school first starts.

How long ago did school start? I bet it was 10-15 days. I also noticed that the kid(s) had a cold or the flu almost every November 10, like clockwork: 10 days after EVERY KID THE NEIGHBORHOOD had put their hands in the same bowl of candy.

Yes, that's the germ theory of disease for ya.

eta: actually, the world of germs *is* out to get you. Not only you, of course ...

A little over a month, but yeah, that sounds about right for incubation if it's running through the entire class.

(I am now thinking way too hard about the candy thing, dammit.)

I think it is totally fair to say germs are out to get you. Why would we have a whole biological system dedicated to defend against them otherwise? And okay, maybe you are more like collateral damage in their quest to reproduce, but there are plenty that manage that while being neutral or good for us, so clearly the sickness causing ones are less considerate and more ruthless or something. I have no trouble ascribing them as much intent as other animals...
