left hand, not toilet paper. Insist that the help were rubber gloves!

Erm, it is probably something like I got when on the Conquest...I know
there is some virus going around on land as well as at sea. It starts with
a sore throat and a cough that won't quit. It is all over, at the
university and lab, Mike says everyone is coughing. No fever or other
symptoms...it's just that pesky cough that won't go away. Your throat
stays irritated from all the coughing.

Maybe now, Carnival will put up sanitizing stations at buffet and dining
room entrances. When I asked why they were not present on the Conquest, I
was told they thought hand washing was more effective...Sure, but how do
you get to get everyone to wash their hands? Some people are more likely
to use the sanitizing agent if it is right at the entrance than wash their
hands.

That sure is a long voyage to take while being ill or being around others
who are ill.
