I'm really worried because my roommate just caught chicken pox while riding the metro, and I'm trying everything to not catch it too. I'm staying away from him and keeping his things separate. But since we're sharing the same room, is there still a chance I could end up getting infected?

I'm a bit concerned and need some advice. My workplace is asking everyone to get tested for the coronavirus before we return to the office. I've recently been to Singapore and I want to make sure I'm doing the right test. Could you let me know which test I should take to check if I have the virus? I'm feeling a little anxious about the whole situation.

I'm really worried about my friend who smokes a lot. Do you have any suggestions on how he could quit smoking? Also, he doesn't eat much and is really thin. What can he do to gain some weight in a healthy way?
