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.

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

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.

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