We returned from Vegas after a 4 day stay last week and have been sick with a bad case of flu for the last five days.

Onboard the SW Airlines flight to Chicago we sat behind a lone muslim man who was coughing and hacking big time. He ignored the flight attendents’ request to turn off his cell phone and buckle his seat belt for takeoff.

Yall might want to get checked. If it’s more than the flu then he can be tracked down, hopefully. Why would passengers
and staff put up with this though? He should have been removed for the attitude alone.

Good grief....they should have removed the man from the plane!! Prayers up for you and your family.

I was at the SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor) Show a few weeks ago. My husband and I came home both with really bad bronchial infections. It took a doctor’s visit and antibiotics to clear it up.

Can’t remember when I’ve been so sick, and it lasted two weeks. My doctor said the flu test was negative, it was a bronchial infection. Hubby came down with it the day before we left, and me the following day.

The SHOT Show is a trade show for manufacturers of every kind of gun, accessory, for police, military, and hunters.

It would have been a REALLY bad time for a terrorist to pull something LOL.

—what happened next? that couldn’t have been the end of it...surely someone forced him to comply?

what I hope happened next: Brave person stands up and says, “Listen-up, the lady isn’t blowing smoke, she requested, I AM TELLING YOU, TURN OFF your cell phone, AND buckle your freakin seat belt!” As other brave soul’s stand up to make sure unruly man complies with the authority of the flight attendant.

Hope all is well with your and your family, but I would certainly see your physician for a check up and he can report it to the CDC if there is anything wrong. Also SW Airlines should be able to cop the guy for HLS.

Las Vegas, if my memory is correct, was always a major target after 9/11.

Wonder who the room was registered to and if the motel had any security cameras.

You should probably get yourselves checked out. Thanks to the US' open door policy regarding foreign students (and thanks to the university where I work accepting anyone with a pulse), I have just tested positive for exposure to TB and am looking at nine months of treatment with a very nasty antibiotic. And that's just for exposure, not an active case of illness. So get yourselves checked out (in your case it's obviously not TB, as that takes 12 weeks to incubate).

And I've stayed at that Extended Stay America hotel, when an airline stranded me in Vegas and then dumped me in that place overnight. It's a kind of creepy hotel to begin with.
