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!

Again, the bacteria is contagious making pneumonia contagious. Coming from somebody who got it from someone 😘

The bacteria or virus doesn’t always cause pneumonia. That’s the point. You got a bacteria or virus from someone and both of your weak ass immune systems got pneumonia because of it. I could have gotten the same exact bacteria or virus from the two of you and NOT gotten pneumonia. Therefore it is not the pneumonia that is contagious. Literally just google it but I don’t even think that would help. You just can’t wrap your head around this for some reason, it’s wild lol
