I suspect “super spreaders” will turn out to be folks that don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom and or love to let a cough rip in public without covering because ... well, they’re pigs
No the super spreaders are the people who are used to working despite having colds and the flu. Their tough, they don’t let anything stop them. Nevermind their whole department gets wiped out a week later.
One effect of this virus is that once it’s confirmed in an area, people are going to have to go get tested every time they are sick. They can’t assume it’s a cold or even the flu.
This morning in the coffee room at work I witnessed a former nurse, who came to work sick, sneeze into his hand, wipe it on his pants, and then use the Keurig machine without washing.
When I confronted him about coming to work sick and told him I had lifelong asthma (I have nearly died from it a few times) he told me “maybe you should wear a mask”.
I was and still am LIVID.
It aint them I would worry about. Its the kids who do that.
Funny thing. I watched a docu on the 1918 out break and they said that 40 million died as a result of that one?
One of my aunts died from that one. They called it consumption on the death certificate.
