Any infected idiots will still go out living their normal lives. I work in the restaurant Industry and it amazes me the sick customers and employees I see all the time.
In most restaurants taking time off for being sick (as a cook) is basically verboten. I know, I lived it for 10+ years of my life.
I never understood the attitude, but it was prevalent.
Schools want their perfect attendance so they can grab as much money as possible so send your sick kid to school to infect the whole building. Then there are all the illegal kids with their entire extended families coming in from who knows where. Then there's the missionaries coming back and forth and soon to be military. Then there are all the Toms, Dicks and Achmeds arriving every hour on the hour at our airports. Face it, every disease known to mankind is already here. Either it hasn't infected enough to be newsworthy or it hasn't been reported to the public. Question - How long does the ebola virus stay alive on dead bodies?
“I work in the restaurant Industry and it amazes me the sick customers and employees I see all the time.”
Reason 174 that I almost never eat out any more.
even in hospitals,nurses and aides come to work with colds, or getting “over” the flu....some of them have so little sick time and even if you take sick time, you get a lecture about it, and maybe accused of “abusing” sick time....
