Going to the Oktoberfest with a cold

Justifiable or inadvisable?

I realized this morning that I am coming down with an unseasonable cold - sore throat, photosensitivity, massive sneezing, stuffy nose, headache etc. Thing is, I have a really hot date with five Northern Irish firefighters this coming Tuesday at the Wiesn and I don't want to disappoint them (most of all, I have the vouchers). Can I justify going to the Wiesn while contagious and risk causing an epidemic, or should I stay at home and let someone else take my place?

This is actually a serious dilemma as I generally end up with some kind of cold after going to the Wiesn due to badly washed Maßkrüge infested with virus and bacteria.

I think you answered your own question Load up on the OJ and think healthy thoughts Of all the masses and Maß's I think a lot of people are going sick and a lot of people are leaving sick...

Five days between now and Tuesday - I don't think you'll still be contagious.

3 years ago,I went to the Wiesn with a bad cold, I had visitors so I had to go, it was awful. My temperature went up and down like a yo-yo, and the smokey atmosphere meant I could hardly breathe. I then spent the next week off work because I was so ill. It was so bad that I actually went to the doctors, even though I knew he probably could do nothing. I've never been so unwell in all my life.

Maybe true Mr A but if you had been with a hunky fireman you'd have been OK cos they all know first aid and shizzle.

You'll be fine.

The infectious period (time during which an infected person can infect others) begins about one day before symptoms begin, and continues for the first five days of the illness. Symptoms, however, are not necessary for viral shedding or transmission, as a percentage of asymptomatic subjects exhibit viruses in nasal swabs.[4]

We got pretty wet last year.

So the TT docs are giving me the ok. Suppose I'll have to risk it then.

If there's any ministering to the sick to be done, I prefer a pretty little (female) nurse!

Go and have fun, Sara, but you'll have to figure that you will be really sick afterwards...
