to ask whether you'd be happy for somebody with bronchitis to come stay?

Would you be happy for somebody who has bronchitis (acute viral, so therefore contagious) to come stay with you for 3 nights if:

You had a 3yo, who currently has a virus themselves (cough, temperature) but otherwise usually in good health;
and an adult who has a weakened immune system (diabetic)

Or would you ask them to make alternative plans?

We're talking about over Xmas so still a week away obviously, but said person is older so unlikely to get over the bronchitis quickly. Assuming that they will still be symptomatic next week, would you be happy for them to come?

"Not to mention the fact that if your family and 3yo get it then you'll prob infect someone else etc etc."

Good point. It's all very well being stoical about yourself or your family catching it but you could end up passing it on too and so it goes on... That virus could infect potentially far fewer people in its lifetime if you just keep it to yourself.

If you have a contagious illness stay out of the way until it clears up, if at all possible.
