Tonight I went to a work party and one of the hosts was in his room with the door shut shut sick with the flu. Why not cancel the party?? I’m so scared that I will now get the flu. I wouldn’t be so worried except that I shook the (non-sick) spouse’s hand (who then told me about the flu). I wanted to run screaming out of the house but didn’t want to appear like a freak in front of colleagues so managed to stay 20 minutes (we were all standing outside in their courtyard). Flu is my HA trigger due to the fact that my child has health issues so the flu is dangerous for my child. I wouldn’t be worried if I hadn’t shaken the spouse’s hand (who I later saw kept going in to check on the patient). Others at the party didn’t appear dazed and even ate the food laying out (who the host promised wasn’t touched by the sick person). So how likely is it that I’ll get the flu from this situation? I didn’t touch my face and used Hand sanitizer in the car then showered when I got home. (PS I got my flu shot 6 days ago) I’m also of course worried now that even if I don’t get the flu that someone else will who was at the party who will then give it to me since I see these people every day!!
