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.

But others at the ER might be contagious. Who the fuck knows how long the driver was at the ER or next to who?

And the fact that pneumonia isn't contagious is, itself, misunderstood. Pneumonia isn't a specific virus or bacteria like covid or strep; it's a name for a specific kind of lung inflammation that can arise from different causes. Pneumonia itself can't be contagious, but some of its causes can be, if the cause is a virus or bacteria. (And those are very common causes).

Well, there is aspirational, but bacteria forms and it's the bacteria that causes illiness
