after reading this did you shy away when people sneezed?

I always try to move away from people espicially if you can tell it is a cold sneeze and cough. With the three little ones at home. sickness is not an option in this house because once it hits. It goes through everyone at least twice before I get rid of it.

Oh yeah, I definitely did. I also did the same thing after watching the movie Outbreak.

I actually read the book on a plane flight from Orlando FL, to Germany (14 hours... LONG flight). I have to admit, I was not pleased with my choice for airplane reading. I started looking around the plane and heard every sniffle, cough, and weeze of the passengers around me. I was convinced that I would drop dead at any second. I still get grossed out about planes and the germs that I'm sure are crawling all over them.
