Living Deliberately Means Being Aware of the Risk at Which You Put Others

If you have a cold or the flu, don’t go where you will be in close contact with other people. Even if you really want to. It’s inconsiderate. You may not immediately be aware of the ripple effect, but it’s there. Your actions affect others. In the case of going about your life when ill with a communicable illness, they affect other negatively. It’s all a big circle, and it will come back to you.
Please stay home until your doctor assures you that you are not contagious.

Hahahaha!!! Love this photo! I’m going to make postcards with it and some instructions on how to properly wash your hands, and every time I see a sick person out and about, I’ll hand them one.
Isn’t that an awesome photo? Some folks are so creative. And now you are, too! Handing them out to folks who are spewing germs is a wonderful idea.
It’s amazing that we have to return to the day and age when people didn’t realize that illness was transmitted through germs and remind people that they should wash. But we do.
When I was in California, I was warned not to hug the sick people.
No one bothered to tell these people to stay home or wash their hands a lot, or not to touch communal objects. Crazy! I guess training as a nurse and having an immune suppressed child make me hyper-vigilant, but I’d hoped common knowledge was, well, common!
