Writer's Block: Sick day

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Gods, just leave me the Hel alone. Don't touch me, don't pat me, keep your distance!

And I stay home if I'm really sick. Because I am considerate and believe that my germs should be mine and mine alone. That's how things like swine flu spread - people want to go to work, send their kids to school, then they don't wash their hands & get touchy-feely with other people.

If you've ever watched this video, just think to yourself how quickly a major virus can spread. Do yourself & every one else a favor - if you are contagious, stay home. And if you can't stay home, don't touch anyone else, sneeze & cough into the crook of your elbow and wash your hands often, with soap and hot water. Avoid those antibacterial hand sanitizers, if there's soap & water available. Hand sanitizers are loaded w/alcohol that dries your skin out, making it prone to crack, thereby giving germs one more road of entry.
