Spreading COVID at Fanfest

Plague doctor new job confirmed.

If someone with mild symptoms like his isn't entitled to paid sick leave, then he can go in whichever public places and private venues he has been invited to. The idea that he'd have to go to work but couldn't use his non refundable fan fest ticket is moronic. People who are immunocompromised have to take care of their own health and not go see live entertainment if it puts them at risk. This was a voluntary event with thousands of people which 100% also included asymptomatic carriers of several diseases. You don't go in a dog household or a place which allows dogs if you don't want allergens or dog hair on you.

Yes, a cold is dangerous. Never go out people.

Unrelated to the topic but in a technical sense, that was SCH before they removed most of their dps spells lol

Worst of all... He's a furry.

I can think of at least 4 things worst than a furry. But yes, let's focus on the furry aspect and not the action, great idea! You get a sticker!

[Pratini]

Of course its a god damn furry.

[AwesomeJr44]

And completely not biased for furries, cause I am not one. I enjoy playing Beast women in video games, especially MMO's, cause I like a strong woman who looks like she could shred you to pieces.

You're totally not a furry tho /s

Haha! Love the meme! Mind if I save it? It's glorious!

Go ahead if you want to, not like I could stop you if I tried.

And yes I am not. I am not attracted to animals/anthro creatures. I like playing Beast women. Playing as something =/= being attracted to it. XD

Edit:

Thank you! And I generally respect it if people tell me no. Have a great evening!

Incidentally, forget conventions. They arent the biggest venue for contracting a respiratory disease. Want to know what is?

THE OFFICE. Your workplace.

Offices are Petri dishes with a vengeance.

I used to get sick all the damned time when I was working. Imagine my reaction when i retired and suddenly found I was NOT getting colds and flu every few weeks. Matter of fact I havent had a bad case of flu in YEARS. Offices, enclosed spaces with air con to recirculate the air are an excellent vector.

Think of that the next time one idiot manager tells a staffer to come to work sick.

Can you ever make any argument that isnt a whataboutism or a strawman?

We live in a post-COVID world. Test before going to large gatherings.

Like how we live in a post-9/11 world and have to deal with TSA for any air travel; it's what you do to be responsible / safe / not a selfish [redacted]

Basic common sense.

We live in a post-COVID world. Test before going to large gatherings.

..which doesnt preclude you contracting it after you test, which was my entire POINT. He could have gotten it anywhere. Even inside.

Thats why its called an endemic disease.

You might. I dont. TSA doesnt exist here. Oh we do have Customs etc, but they aint anywhere near the TSA levels.

Oh and what stood out to me? Was him worrying about not having his work laptop. Why would you take your work laptop when you are on leave? Why would you work when you are on holiday?
