Stay home if you’re sick

Dear Editor, Today, I witnessed a person who was hoarse in voice and looked ill. When I asked if they were sick, they said yes.

I’m at greater risk, by far, than most. My point is, if sick, stay home. Many different illnesses are going around. No one has the right to share any illness at will. Not only did this happen, but her daughter and grandchild showed up, were potentially infected and when the sick person saw me give a frowning look, she got up and left.

In essence, obviously sick people should stay home and not share the gift of illness (with) others who may not have an immune system to fight germs.

Thank you, Mary Schmidt Ellsworth
