Mass Sanitization

Why can’t people follow basic considerations when they’re ill? I mean really? We keep hearing if you’re sick stay home don’t infect the public. Today at the bank a man (about 22 or so) walked in with his mother. He was clearly ill. He had a dry cough and a red rash on his face.  Despite the fact that he pulled his shirt up over his mouth when he coughed he still put the public at risk.  The second time he coughed everyone in the place seized up. You could feel the tension. What happened next was kind of funny but surely embarrassing for him and his mother. One by one we all pulled out hand sanitizer and began sanitizing ourselves. We didn’t want to embarrass the guy but he kinda brought that upon himself. It was obvious his problem was not H1N1 but something a lot more serious. It is selfish and completely,  wrong, careless and potentially criminal to go out in public when you are as sick as he was. What happens if you infect someone else and they don’t make it? It’s wrong. STAY HOME. It’s that simple. STAY HOME.

  • I have to admit that I giggled a little at the mental picture of a whole bank full of people pulling out their hand sanitizer at the same time.

    If you are sick, you should stay home. Period.

  • It was like, ya know, you’re obviously sick and we obviously don’t want it. When you go into that bank you have to pass through 4 security measures. You are scanned before you even enter the building. Once the green light is on you can go inside to the second screening area. If/when you get that green light you then enter the building and do your thing. When you leave you go to the exit door where you are scanned. When the green light comes on you can push the door open to enter a small area where you’re scanned for the last time. You’re scanned twice entering and twice exiting. You have to get all the green lights or no go. I figure there should be a scan for weapons and for health. If a virus is detected give the first green light and let them go into the small area to wait for the second clearance. Lock ‘em in there. They should then set off a silent alarm and have an ambulance come and get ‘em by surprise. If I have to go through all that security I should not be locked inside with someone sick.
    They act like we live in Compton or something. I don’t know why they have that kind of extensive security in such a small bank. Gracious!!!
