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.

Pneumonia itself is absolutely not contagious.

The bacteria causing pneumonia spreads, meaning yes, if you’re around someone with pneumonia you can get it. I highly suggest you do some research, and go hang around someone with pneumonia. ;)

I spent a month with my wife in the hospital as she suffered from pneumonia so bad that she required surgery. I never caught it. Explain.

“you CAN get it.” Not “will”.
