    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    You're probably right. You can't insure yourself against catching a cold from other people. But I was referring to the stupidity that is caused by people getting drunk for example and ending up in hospital. Also, the stupidity can occur in the case of a young person thinking that it's not cold enough for him to put on a hat.
    I assume that you are referring to already infected people. In this regard we can probably see stupidity as something you have very little chance of escaping. You can't possibly escape the stupidity of those infected people who travel with you on the subway/

    Well, judging by recent events, radioactive thallium ingestion is apparently a new way of making sure you don't get the flu or a cold...
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    Разве! Да, Спасибодавания звучит более естественно чем День благодарения!

    Раньше я придумал слово: Благоспасибо. Но никому (кроме меня) это не понравилось. теперь попробую спасибодавания!

    Curiosity...
    Are Flu shots well available in Russia this year?
    They seem to be available at pharmacies and supermarkets here, but Doctors have a hard time finding them. I drove my Senior Citizen father to the local Fire Department that was giving them out. LOTS of old folks (not too many poor people in my area), I stayed outside and figured a cigarette would keep the germs/baccilli/viri away.
    The EMT (Emergency Medical Techs) gave me blue gloves and a face mask to help some of the local Seniors get on their bus home. I felt poorly about the mask and dropped it. I'm still a Boy Scout...
    I'm easily amused late at night...
