Influenza...

Dear Influenza,
It is with utmost respect that I must ask you to please withdraw from my home, I would really appreciate it, for you see, I am getting a little lonely under this quarantine. It's not that you are bad company, although the aches, and not really being able to eat, and the weird fuzzy eyes might suggest the latter to some, but not to me of course. It's just that I have a job, and a family, not to mention friends that I'd like to see again. And I mean really, three days and counting is a lot of quality time to spend with a girl when you haven't made your intentions clear, what might the neighbors think?
So if you wouldn't mind, mightn't you be going soon?
Your slightly unwilling friend,
Beth
