Omg this thread is insane, the same thing happened to me! I got sick in February (west coast) and I commented "I haven't been this sick since I was a child!" and to the person I caught it from, "Whatever bug you had is super contagious!" Out for about 4-5 days. I also haven't been sick since but one reason I assumed was because I've been cooped up in my house so haven't been as exposed to germs. Wow!
