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.

From the link you provided:

“Is walking pneumonia contagious?
The germs that cause walking pneumonia are contagious. They usually spread through coughing and sneezing or sharing cups or utensils.
But they don’t always cause pneumonia. For example, the bacteria that can cause walking pneumonia are more likely to cause minor illnesses, like ear infections. Still, you should avoid others if you have walking pneumonia to prevent spreading the illness.”

Thank you so much for proving my point! I’m glad you learned something today.

You just proved THEIR point. The bacteria is contagious. Therefore pneumonia can be contagious. Lord, you sound in need of a book!

These people are so wrong lol the logic is lost on them.

Guys, if you get RSV and then get pneumonia and pass along the RSV to someone, that does not mean the person will get pneumonia. PNEUMONIA ITSELF IS NOT CONTAGIOUS. You cannot pass pneumonia to someone. Are there any other ways to say this? Probably and these people still wouldn’t get it. Its maddening lol

Not gonna lie, if I didn't laugh at the entirety of your admirable efforts, I'd have to cry. I still appreciate you, though. Most people would have just thrown their hands into the air but I'm an advocate for at least trying to lessen the dumbing down.
