Delta Sky Club
POLL: Do people who have communicable illnesses have an obligation to avoid public areas?
I'm sitting in the Delta Sky Club in Memphis awaiting a delayed flight connection. On the opposite side of a room is sitting a guy who clearly has some kind of respiratory illness. I don't know if it's communicable or not, but I don't appreciate him sharing his germs by coughing into the open air every few minutes.
Which brings me to my question. If you are sick, do you have a responsibility to avoid public areas (and public transit, such as airplanes, trains, buses, etc), or is it your right to use them anyway and instead is it the responsibility of other travelers to protect themselves from your germs?
What say all of you?
Unfortunately, sick people have no legal or moral obligation to avoid public places. But you cannot armchair diagnose those you see. I have respiratory allergies, for example, that cause itching in my throat. I often cough but there's no infection communicable or otherwise. My point is, you can't always tell if what you see and hear is communicable or not. But be glad he's on the OTHER side of the room.
Those who make no effort to control or cover a cough are rude and thoughtless but you can avoid potential problems by keeping your distance. On the other hand, there are times when sick people HAVE to travel -- it just can't be avoided. The man you were looking at may be on a business trip that he simply couldn't reschedule much as he may have wanted to. You could be in his position some day, you know. As for other forms of public transportation, many people are too poor to stay home when sick. They just can't afford to miss work. They may not have benefits like sick days and paid-time-off, the way that I do or that you may have. Two or three missed days at work may mean the difference between food on the table and going hungry, or a roof over the family's head and eviction. You just never know.
So, try to give people the benefit of a doubt and take steps to protect yourself.

Excerpt: The Richmond Olympic Oval (French: ), or the Richmond Oval is a facility in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. It is the venue of the speed skating events of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and is the location for the official Olympic anti-doping lab. The total cost of the project was $178 million. It has been built on a site beside the Fraser River, a few blocks away from Lansdowne Station on the Canada Line. From the air, it is the first Olympic venue many visitors will see flying into the Vancouver, and the roof takes the stylized native shape of a heron's wing, a tribute to the Salish First Nation and the large wading bird that cohabited the riverbank at first European contact 230 years ago. It is a 33,750 m² facility, including a 20,000 m² main floor that includes a 400 m refrigerated track. It can accommodate 8,000 spectators. The Oval was built to qualify the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Scale (LEED) Silver certification; for example, the Oval's refrigeration plant is designed to heat other areas of the building through the utilization of what is otherwise waste heat from cooling the ice surface. The Olympic Oval with Water Sky Garden sculpture by Janet EchelmanA distinctive feature of the Richmond Oval is its unique "wood wave" roof. This roof, which is one of the longest clear spans in North America, includes one million board feet of B.C. pine-beetle kill wood linked together in undulating sections to create a rippled effect. These one of a kind wood panels were designed by structural engineers Fast + Epp and constructed at the design build firm StructureCraft Builders Inc. in Delta, B.C. As a result, the Oval was given an award of excellence in architectural innovation by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada spe... More: |

Excerpt: Observation data Epoch J2000.0 Equinox J2000.0 109 Piscium is a yellow subgiant star located about 106 light years away in the constellation Pisces . It has a similar mass to our Sun , and has a higher abundance of iron . Planetary system In 1999 an extrasolar planet was detected around this star. Companion (in order from star): Mass : Semimajor axis (AU ): Orbital period (days ): Eccentricity Popular culture In the 1983 Star Trek novel The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane , the USS Enterprise intentionally causes 109 Piscium to go supernova by entering warp drive too close to the star, in order to destroy a group of pursuing Klingon vessels. Captain Kirk experiences an uneasy sense that he may "get in trouble with Starfleet" over this arguably rash course of action.
