There's so much ill-thought-out advice about warding off the virus.

I've had my share and know the after effects are pretty debilitating. <br /><br />Sigh... We have a cruise planned in a couple of months and believe me, I'm scared. However, the other couple really wants to wait and see until April. So I guess we'll wait a bit longer before cancelling.
