There's always severe allergy attacks, food poisoning, and many other illnesses he could have.

If you are young and chances are if your on the net you are ,calm down ! We are having an aggressive flu season and as far as Cobid 19 the average age of all fatalities is 81,and honestly since there is no current treatment for it ,if you get it up I just have to ride it out, as a former emergency services guy ,my behaviour sets the tone for any citizen in crisis ,if you panic they will come unhinged, so kits don't panic ! Yes this is a potential serious threat to elderly ,and people with preexisting conditions ,November not everyone gets symptoms and certainly not everyone succumbs, many people get the virus and don't know they got it ,so please don't sweat the things you can't change ,there is alot of neccesary fear & anxiety ,as well as boarding masks and price gouging , be a cooler head ,stay calm ,make your roommate some chicken with garlic soup for dinner ,it the home "remedy" we all grew up with ,it's traditional practical and easy to do ,and much harder to freak out when your bust living instead of fearing also look up and read the Serenity Prater,it never goes out of style and is a sensible approach to complicated times .
