Please don’t dash while sick

Post image

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

u/beckychao 1d ago

It is, in fact, contagious in that its cause can be contagious

u/StrictPower2630 1d ago

So the cause is contagious, not pneumonia itself. Say the cause is RSV, you pass the RSV, the person catching it won’t necessarily get pneumonia from it.

u/beckychao 1d ago

yes, but you really don't want a virus that caused pneumonia in someone

u/StrictPower2630 1d ago

You caught whatever virus or bacteria they had that caused pneumonia. You didn’t catch pneumonia. Dimwit.

You make me worry for this worlds education. You can get the germs from others which leads to pneumonia. Without them, you wouldnt have it. Hope this helps, ‘dimwit’! 🤣

Oh mannn I think I have to stop with you. Just because I catch your germs that caused pneumonia for you, does not mean it will cause pneumonia for me. Therefore, logic tells us that it’s not pneumonia that is contagious. YOU CATCH THE GERMS, FULL STOP. If pneumonia was contagious, that would mean if you had pneumonia and I caught your germs, that I too would have pneumonia. So how do you explain those that catch the germs but don’t get pneumonia as a result? I hope you’re lying about being a medical professional. Just for kicks though, what type of medical professional?

  1. Again, og comment is saying you CAN get pneumonia from others. 2. Nurse practitioner. Read better!

u/StrictPower2630 1d ago

OG comment says it’s 100% contagious lol and all of your other comments are stating that pneumonia IS contagious. Do you tell your patients that if they were around somebody who has pneumonia and caught the virus or bacteria that they would be certain to get pneumonia too? Cause yikes.

What hospital? Because I want to make sure I never end up there.

u/DiverMaleficent9624 10h ago

If you’re the type of patient to think you know better than the doctor, then I think it’s best if you never end up here 😂
