[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe we’ve been through a pandemic and still most people haven’t learned how gross and rude it is to be around other people when you’re sick. Stay home. And when you do need to be out, wear a mask. I don’t care if it’s a cold, the flu, Covid, or RSV.  If you’re wiping your nose, sneezing, have a sore throat, coughing, fever- whatever. Stay away from other people or mask. Don’t eat dinner with them, breath all over them, and touch everything in their house. So. Gross. [/quote]

Work too, too many people come to work visibly ill.  It’s funny though because my mom, who works in a service sector job, was b-thing about a college-aged coworker who called in sick claiming to have the flu.  Like shouldn’t you be grateful that they didn’t come to work sick? Nope, just a bunch of moaning that now someone would have to work her hours, and doubting she was really sick vs. wanting time off to party.[/quote]

Agree. Yeah, that’s a 70s mindset about work: tough it out and show up. I thought we were evolving past that in the 2010s and for sure a pandemic would seal that into our norms…but no. [/quote]
