My wife and I just took my MIL to visit some family for her birthday. They had all been sick with some sort of vicious sinus infection. One sister was still in the hospital. Did any of them suggest we wait a while to visit? Nope.
The attitude is, "Hey, I survived. You might as well suffer, too." They'll never grasp the concept until it is too late.
Our much vaunted hospital system -- while far superior to the rest of the world -- is not much better than a giant petri dish for nosocomial infections.
I shudder to think of just one early Marburg case being picked up by an ambulance and taken to an ER, and admitted for care, with NO IDEA what they were dealing with.
Talk about a lot of dead people walking...

I hate people like that. It never occurs to them that not everyone has a healthy immune system.
