Very sick friends look like they have the flu. how long to stay away from them?

Until they are bette: Get immunized with influenza vaccine. Unfortunately, however, there are many viruses and other nasty critters which can cause symptoms resembling those of influenza. Suggest you keep your distance until their coughing, runny nose, fevers, chills and muscle soreness have disappeared.
