For one, I’m not really given the choice – when I go certain places, hugs happen whether I want to hug or not. For another, I am not going to forgo normal human interactions for fear of getting sick. I may hold me breath when I hug someone who looks a bit off, occasionally forgoing altogether if someone appears to be particularly ill – but fuck avoiding the things that make life enjoyable, such as loving contact with my fellow humans.

Not hugging means the terro…I mean the swine flu wins!!!
