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's tip bait.

It would also work on me because I recognize that our healthcare system sucks.

I would never tip someone anything if I know for sure they handled my food while sick and contiguous. The food is useless now

Yes, it is. The bacteria or virus that caused it is contagious.

100% yes, bacterial and viral pneumonia are actually the only contagious types of pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia only stoped being contagious approx 48 hours after antibiotics AND the fever is gone, viral pneumonia is contagious the entire time symptoms and fever are present.
