Jez, I had it without any of the usual physical contact causes, never traced the contact, so assume the worst about infection, though it's not as transmissible as F&M, and be fair to your friends. I assume you have seen the doctor, anyway - have you started feeling the tiredness yet? 'Cos you won't want to go anywhere when you do. Which is not cheering up, I know.

Get your friends to come and sing in the garden? Text message songs? Join in over the phone? Get friends who've already had it to come round for a session? Paltalk?
