Pending Liloti's authoritative and definitive answer, I'll say: Woofmutt, don't always assume the worst about people. I'll bet when that guy first started hacking, he hurried in for a check-up. He asked the doc if he had a cold or the flu (because he heard he needed to cover his mouth, if he did). No, the doc told him, it's not a cold or the flu. What a relief, he thought later, as he sat 12 feet from you. I'm so glad my cough wasn't the flu... just some funny-sounding thing called turb... toob... oh, yeah, tuberculosis!
