Tutorial
Sylvia and Raj Singhai are parents of 3 children: A.J. (aged 7), Jasmine (aged 4), and Bal (aged 3). Jasmine and Bal have both had a cough and cold for a few days, now, but have not been kept home from day care. Going to bed, Raj tells Sylvia that his throat is bothering him, with some difficulty swallowing, and that he has just started to get some chills. The next morning, both Raj and A.J. wake up with sore throats, and A.J. says it hurts too much to swallow, and that he doesn't feel well enough to go to school
