Well I'm about 75% decided that the game in it's current state is not worth playing actually, and it surely doesn't seem to be getting any better now does it? Every day brings another halfbaked completely untested great new idea they have to spring on everyone...
So they win. As they say it's "working as it should", making people hate the game and through zero fault of their own not be able to do well with their music careers which is what this is supposed to be about. So since my last cold I've only interacted with bandmates and hid myself away in locales in whihc there were but a few people. And now that time is lost as I've again got a cold and lost another 14% in mood which will adversely affect my show. So aparently they wanted to inact a system that kills the social side of the game and their response?

If you want to avoid getting infected with the cold, the best solution is to avoid exchanging body fluids with a lot of people.
Alternatively, keep doing that, but then accept a flu or cold now and then.

It's all OUR fault you see, there is nothing wrong with their system, it's that >I< should be interacting with four people. But thanks for again insulting me Frank. you're a real asset to the game.
So back to the wonderful "incubation" period; you interact with someone you can't see has a cold and then you have 10 (or 15 in my last case) ten hours before you'll know if you might have a cold and be spreading it to others even though
neither character yours or theirs was shown as having a cold when you interacted. So, It doesn't even give you chance so I guess we just can't interact with anyone who interacts with or is interacted with anyone else in the past say 15 hours.
So, I'm no longer interacting with anyone because none of us can be trusted to be healthy so like Frank says the answer is to not interact with anyone.
