How Does This Happen?

How Does This Happen?


For 10 years I worked in a prison as a correctional officer. Ten years I worked in a live petri dish environment and not once did I ever get the flu. A few times I had the sniffles but never the flu. I've worked for the the PA State Police for approximately 1 1/2 years and I've been sick twice.

This time is worse than the last time because now it is in my sinuses, lungs and ears. So now I have to try and get an appointment with the doctor or go to urgent care where they can extort an extra fifty bucks from me after the germs have invaded my body.

Myself and the other dispatchers have been careful to wipe our area down with disinfectant wipes at the end of each shift so as not to spread this to each other. I think this is from one of the Troopers that had Bronchitis and he used my phone one night to yell at some drunk guy on the phone.

I hate being sick!!!! And I just spent an hour shoveling my sidewalk and digging out my car. So glad I'm on my long weekend.

There is a lot of stuff going around in PA this winter. My wife came down with bronchitis and gave it to me. That was a few weeks ago and we are just now over it. We wish you the best of luck and health.

I don't get the flu because now I am not out in the public as often as I used to be..even when I was active I avoided crowds and don't ever touch things that belong to someone else...I don't allow someone in my personal space three feet or further is close enough ...but that's not be being paranoid its a Doctors recommendation...and I always get my flu shot..Things I cant avoid and end up with sinus congestion is cleaning the pellet stove..the fine ash goes everywhere ..even under a mask and in the air...
