If someone passes their cold/flu onto you, should you get one free punch?

<== not a happy camper and I know who did this to me.

You should punch yourself for having a lame immune system.

 

[DAGTA]

Eat healthier and take better care of yourself so your immune system is better.

Punch out should be reserved for herpes. I'd steal the persons lunch for giving you a cold. You don't have to worry about getting sick from it since they already made you sick.

 

[sunzt]

Pop vitamin c pills.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

I fear the standard this might set up.

What if you do not know who passed the cold/flu to you? Should you get to punch everyone?

 

[SlitheryDee]

Are you going to hold to this when someone claims you passed it on to them?

 

[Saint Nick]

Pop vitamin c pills.

You know this doesn't help, right?

When I get a cold/flu, I do my best to stay away from people. I hate passing it on to other people. Some people just dont feel the same.

I wonder how this guy feels about herpes

You shouldn't hit a lady unless you're married to her.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Even worse... when people bring kids into work "because the school won't allow them due to sickness" and one of our employees gets sick.

If your wife gives you herpes (after you have been married for some time), I think you have more to worry about then punching her.

Even worse... when they come down with the clap.

People talk about bringing kids into work and you think about the clap? :hmm:

Punch yourself for not washing your hands.

Eat healthier and take better care of yourself so your immune system is better.

right....

 

[manimal]

How about we start wearing masks when were sick like the japanese. So thoughtful of them.

 

[Texashiker]

right....

I thought you are some kind of scientist that works with the human immune system?

 

[destrekor]

right....

There's actually a TON of truth to that statement.

Most bothersome yet harmless bugs like the cold can easily be prevented from gaining a foothold in your body by keeping your immune system in peak condition - which requires a body in good health.

Not everyone can do much about the state of their immune system, of course, but most people can improve their immune system simply by eating better and staying active.
What that all entails, I won't get into - that would turn this short post into a novel. I don't feel like typing that up right now.

I hate it when people refuse to stay home when sick and come to work to share with everyone. Selfish.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

No.Its a damn cold, not AIDS.

Hush your mouth, we are probably just a few mutations from a Super Cold/HIV disease that will kill 99% of mankind.

Our receptionist is an extremely dedicated and loyal employee, but she insists on coming to work, even when very sick. Last week she came in two days and both days I told her to pack up and go home. The third day she sounded a bit better and I let her stay. There was no issue with pay, as I always grant sick days unless there is abuse, and I simply don't want the rest of my staff getting sick.
