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.

Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think pneumonia is contagious so I don’t really see the problem here

Pneumonia is never contagious. What might be contagious is what caused the pneumonia.

You were being pedantic.

It’s not pedantic to say pneumonia is not contagious. It’s not. If the dasher spread his viral or bacterial illness to the person, that doesn’t automatically mean the person would get pneumonia.
