Sneezing, Sore Throat, Honesty

One symptom of sickness is a higher level of honesty. Like the rest of the sickness, it’s also contagious.

Friend: How are you?
Sick person: Awful. I’m really getting my ass kicked by this cold (TRUE).
Friend: Yeah, you don’t look so good (TRUE).

Without the benefit of sickness?

Friend: How are you?
Person: I’m well (possibly FALSE).
Friend: Well, you look good (probably FALSE).
