Grrrr

I'm one of those who cannot get a flu shot. I have lupus & my rheumatologist has forbidden it. Alive, killed or barely breathing - no flu shot. So I really get p.o'ed with people who show up places sick. I want to say, "Why do you think you're so important that you MUST be here??"

So, I'm just really careful. I carry hand sanitizer, I watch that I don't touch my face in public, wash my hands a lot, blah blah. I don't want to be one of those OCD people on Intervention though
I know what you mean. Someone I work with was home two days last week taking care of her sick children. Despite the fact that she can work from home whenever it's necessary, she came in to the office on Friday. And she hacked and coughed and sniffled the whole day. I had work to do with her but I stayed away instead. There was absolutely no reason why she couldn't have stayed home with her germs.

I'm at the point where I use hand sanitizer every time I go into the office kitchen. Lord only knows whose germs are on the refrigerator handle, microwave and drawer handles.
