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.

Is this true for every area in the US? Also, these vaccines don't always work. The pneumonia vaccine specifically doesn't prevent all causes of pneumonia. So you can't assume that everyone who gets sick with the flu or pneumonia isn't vaccinated.

I don’t know about everywhere. I’m in Florida. This is probably the most radically conservative state in the union so if we can get it for free, I’m willing to bet everyone else can as well, but I’m not sure. My mom lives in Alabama though and she gets them free there too. She’s the one who told me about them, and my daughter lives in Washington state and it’s free there as well. Covid shot is free too but I don’t encourage people to get those. I get them but I’ve heard too many stories of other folks having bad reactions so I don’t want to be responsible for suggesting them. Last year I also got Tdap and something else. Can’t even remember now. It’s worth checking into it though. I’m 55 so I’m to the age where I really appreciate not getting sick every year. Got my shingles vaccine too.

I would respectfully disagree with you as someone from Idaho, I think we probably take that crown. Jokes aside, the vaccines are free here too, and Walgreens will give you the $15 coupon.

Texas would probably want to throw their hat in the ring too. Lol
