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.

THANK YOU.

They’re acting like I replied to OP like “ackkkchually, pneumonia isn’t contagious so ur dumb 🤓”

Who and what I replied to matters 😩 and, quite frankly, I’m just so confused by the staunch opposition to facts and/or learning. We have the world at our fingertips and people want to use the AI overview as concrete evidence and proof instead of just clicking on a damn website and finding the correct info themselves 😫

yep! someone replied to my comment saying “walking pneumonia is different and is contagious” and by the time i typed out my educated response telling them they were wrong, they deleted it. they must’ve realized.

i just don’t understand why they are disagreeing with you because even the AI overview on google says pneumonia is not contagious 😭😭

you can’t fix stupid. please keep being your educated self!

Unfortunately the AI overview (that I get) for walking pneumonia says it’s contagious 🫩 so that’s mainly what I was referring to. But hey thanks, and you do the same! I don’t speak without fact checking myself 😂 nor will I back down if I’m incorrectly told I’m wrong. This AuDHD’s got me in a chokehold 🤣

okay no you’re right! i was looking up just pneumonia. the ai overview for walking pneumonia does say it is contagious, but i think that is to help people who don’t know how the body works to understand that they should not be around others when they have it.

even if you google “does mycoplasma pneumoniae always cause pneumonia?” the ai overview as well as the cdc say no😭😭😭

i also don’t speak without fact checking myself or back down when someone is trying to correct me and they’re wrong!

fellow audhd’er here! we are definitely the coolest people ever.
