    Awesome.

    This entire thread is ludicrous.

    That "article" is based on some flimsy science.

    As for the title of this thread. For argument's sake, let's say the study cited in the article is right.

    It's saying these overweight people have contracted virus AD-whatever at some point in their lives. It doesn't mean they are contagious now.

    Nor do we know if this is the kind of virus that can be contracted through a sneeze.

    Scribe, I know I'm taking your premise a bit too literally, but you've overreached to a point that somebody had to pull you back, fella.

    My head hurts. Must be all the second-hand fat floating around the computer.

    Sorry, I Digress. I'll cover my mouth next time I sneeze.
