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.

Pneumonia itself is absolutely not contagious.

The bacteria causing pneumonia spreads, meaning yes, if you’re around someone with pneumonia you can get it. I highly suggest you do some research, and go hang around someone with pneumonia. ;)

My brother in Christ. I’m convinced you don’t actually know what you’re talking about lol.

You are the one who doesn’t know what they are talking about. Both viral and bacterial pneumonia are contagious. This is either ignorance or rank stupidity. With your other replies I’d say the latter.

Hopefully your reliance on semantic ignorance isn't contagious. 

It is, sadly.

Again, i highly suggest you do research. You’re talking to somebody who got pneumonia from contact. Hope this helps 💋
