If she just got off an air flight from Italy, she may have picked up a bug on the plane.  It happens a lot, esp. if you are exhausted before getting on the plane: your immune system is weakened.

 

I caught a nasty case of bronchitis that way.  I also can remember my PCP being out for a while after she took her family to the Caribbean on vacation.  She has asthma and the flight did her in.

 

Before flying, I load up on Airborne to get Vitamin C and protection from bugs.  If someone near me is obviously I’ll, I will use the half face mask my doctor gave me.

I rarely if ever get sick - but this year - OMG.  I never got the cough or fever but I had some sort of stomach virus and couldn't keep food down for 4 days.  I had a lot of tea and toast and stayed in bed and watched recorded shows from my DVR.  I've semi-recovered in that I can now eat but I am so exhausted.
