People who go to optional gatherings while ill deserve to be tortured with a rusty spork.

At this group I go to (for LGBTQ youth), there was this kid there who had strep throat.

:wtf:

What an idiot. He should have stayed home. If I get sick, I know who to blame.

3. Anybody read Agatha Christie's "The Mirror Crack'd"?

Spoiler Alert:

It's about what happens when a woman with a slight case of German measles decides she's going to ignore medical advice to STAY HOME.
She slaps on some powder to cover the spots and goes out to meet her idol...
who happens to be a famous actress and in her first trimester of a very much-wanted pregnancy.

German measles + early pregnancy = really, really bad things happening development-wise to the fetus.

4. That was based on a real incident, you know

I think Merle Oberon. EXACT same thing happened, including the person telling her years later about it.

5. I don't think strep is really contagious
