Marco, a tenant, brought back a virus, flu or what ever this is from the beach. Marco and his daughter had it first. Then AJ caught. Then I caught it.

AJ thought he was better so he went the gym and then out with his girlfriend. Today he is all sick again. He has this wonderful pomegranate juice that he was drinking straight from the container. I said I wanted some juice but would not drink any because he was drinking from the container. He said it doesn't matter because I won't get anything from him because we both have the same thing.

So the question is, if I poured some of the juice from the juice container he was drinking from in a glass, would/could I be reinfected. I say yes. AJ says no... Who is right?

Just because we have the same virus/flu/cold does not mean we cannot reinfect each other by drinking from the same cup. Besides, i wash my hands a lot. Not sure AJ washes his that often. Not that washing hands has anything to do with drinking from the same cup, Just is wise to wash hand often especially when sick.. or is it to prevent getting sick.. whichever..
