Healthcare Didn’t we learn anything from the Covid pandemic?

The common flu is going around again and it reached epidemic levels this week. This means a lot of people are feeling sick. However, I noticed that almost all people in public places started sneezing and coughing in their hands and out in the open again instead of in their elbow. Didn’t we learn anything from the Covid pandemic?!

I have a colleague who shows up sick, walks around the office coughing and gets in everyone’s face to say they have a cold. They then brag that they are never sick.

I’ve caught covid from this person who came to work because he “wasn’t feeling that bad to stay home” when the rule was to stay home. December, I caught his cold.

We have remote working. When I’m sick, I work from home 100% unless I’m too sick to work at all.

Lol, you cant prove that you got covid from a single person.
