I am a fit person, walk 8 minutes to work 5 days a week and do not miss work days. Yes, people where I work have been out with the flu and serious coughs causing them to be out for days.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since your close contacts has had viral flu it is possible you are also infected with virus and having prodromal symptoms. Prodromal symptoms are general tiredness, headache, faintishness, on initial days, before you show the actual clinical symptoms of the virus. Other possibility is when certain people have some immunity for the virus, they will show mild form of symptoms without fever. So in 2 or 3 days time we will be able to tell you whether you are having prodromal phase or subclinical disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K.r.w.m.manori Karunathilaka
