People have family at Ole Miss - kids who are students and may be exposed, so of course Bubba Ballcap sees that as a great opportunity to come on here and brag about a college baseball victory. <br /><br />Maybe they'll find it has spread to a number of other students and there's a genuine health emergency.

It's not spread by touch contact like shaking hands, or kissing or sharing food or on surfaces.

Those with it need full treatment.
