    What can be done? It's a virus. Drugs, eg penicillin will not work.

    I think gaffer tape at both ends is the closest they'll get to a cure. For Dreamboy and the Norovirus

    <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Maybe we should all start wearing surgical masks, like in Asia. I don't know how well it works inmakingit less contagious,but it has always struck me as a very considerate thing to do, as opposed to the people in my office who cough and sneeze without putting their hands over their mouths.</font></p>

    Maybe NHS could make available free-to-hire...

    ...Darth Vador style masks that would filter the air. A possible downside would be being slain by cloaked long-haired buffoons with lightsabers.
