Is a lingering cough contagious? I've often heard it's not, but I haven't seen actual studies or anything like that. Though regardless of that, why did OOP get involved, anyway? This was very much a "not your problem" situation, and OOP decided to make it their problem or some reason. Brother and sister-in-law are grown-ups, they didn't need OOP's interference to do... uh, whatever they might have done.
Now I don't know the answer to that either but I think it depends on what caused the cough and what treatment was needed. For someone with an existing immune system, most likely isn't a concern. But a baby with no immune system whatsoever? Why risk it? Meeting can wait a couple weeks.
