Mind your manners

During times like these, it would help if coughing people would just cover their mouths.

On one of our drive stops for a bathroom break this long weekend, my sister just received an unexpected and unwanted gift from some stranger walking by. This old lady didn't even have the manners to cover her mouth when she coughed out loud as she passed by my unsuspecting sister (yuch!!!).

Do you stop and admonish someone like this and risk coming off like a disrespectful younger person? People can be just so callous at times. I felt bad for my sibling, she's been really careful and very conscious about not getting sick and all it took was one cough right smack in her face.

It just reminded me of this one CSI episode about transfers like these--it's so true!

Now she's the one who is nursing a cold at home. I feel it's going to be a long, long winter cycle.

She's been pumping herself up with lots of Vitamins and fluids and we are hoping that the buck stops there!

Please -- for those concerned, mind your manners and keep your virus to yourself!
