I hope not!  This is one mean virus.  Now my wife has it and today
she sat up, got sick, and laid back down.  "Not going in to work today
are we?" I said (poking fun at her).  "ooooooooh," was the mumbled reply.
So I called her work for her to let them know.

This stuff is nasty.  First you just feel tired for about a week, then
you start getting queasy.  Then you either stay in bed a day or so or
you get sick all over the place.  Then you have a couple of days where
your joints ache.  Then (where I am now) you just have a really stopped
up head and sore throat (can't hear well and can't think clearly).  Then
(I hope) you get better. :)

If this were a computer virus - it would be really bad.  The equivalent
would probably be: First a floppy drive goes bad, then the hard drive,
then the computer won't boot, then the floppies spin but don't read.  Then
you find that someone dropped a penny on the motherboard, cat hair clogged
the fan on the hard drive, and the floppy drive is so dusty that you could
make dust bunnies out of the stuff.  So you fix everything and you are ok
again. :)

Ok!  So it turned out not to be a virus!  Aren't you relieved!?  After
all, if it was a virus doing all of that stuff I'd be going
ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
