...”I’ve worked a flu season or two — people who are highly contagious, coughing, feverish, etc will head right on out and shop, run errands, and just generally roam everywhere”....
I see this at work all the time and unfortunately for some they think coming to work sick is some sort of “badge Of honor”. When in truth they have no concern for the “safety” of others.
Right...they go to work and to school without a thought about contagion.
Especially restaurant workers, nursing home workers, and hospital workers. Anyone who makes an hourly wage and has no sick days.
Amen !
