Okay people if you are coughing and hacking up a lung and look like you feel like shit - Stay The Hell Home From Work!
We have pregnant women and people with small children who don’t need to get sick, not leaving out the rest of us that don’t want the crud you’re toting around.
Your work will stack up yes - but the rest of us can pitch in and help out until you get back, well and refreshed.
Lord - I need a gallon of Lysol to take with me!
- Answer the Phone Already!
- Goal Reached

It’s been a few years but I recall reading an article that basically laid it all out in terms of how a single school child, sick and in a classroom, could spread their illness across the entire social spectrum.
In a nutshell (since I don’t remember it all to quote), the kid shares the germs with other kids in school who take it home, share them with siblings and parents. The parents become infectious and they spread them in the work place to other adults who take them home to their children who, in turn, take them back to a new classroom where the entire cycle begins again.
In Japan, it is accepted practice to wear a facemask (one of those little white dust masks) if you are sick so that you don’t spread the illness. That makes good sense to me but… I can’t see that happening here in the USA.

I really wish people would start wearing masks in this country. With this nasty Staff stuff going around, how are we going to keep from getting sick.
