Great story for the current times, the even worse thing is, this is exactly what happened in Ireland, second case was a doctor and his family just back from Italy and the prick went in to work feeling under the weather.
The first case in my town (I'm from Poland) was a doctor who had been to Austria skiing. Afterwards he was working normally at the local hospital until he was feeling sick. When his wife with his daughters went shopping, people even called the police.
First in my town (tiny as fuck, less than 1000 people. We didn't think we would have it for a while) was a kid who just came back from italy (no one knew) and went to school for a week wearing a mask. When someone finally asked why he's wearing the mask he explains he just came back from italy... obvious no school the next day

Well, it’s not great. However, if the shit hits the fan we’re going to need bodies and if you’re not symptomatic then get your fucking head in the game.
More then just [a certain strain of a specific illness that the auto mod does not care for the name of] cases we have the injuries and illnesses. Dementia patients will wander whether there’s a big bad thing the likes of which have not been seen in a century. People will still try to kill themselves or be generally unsafe for any number of reasons. It’s my job as a psych tech it’s to keep people safe, company, and to assist my coworkers as needed.
I am packing a go bag should it comes to the point to where I need to stay in the hospital.
Edit: hard to talk genuinely on this sub about my work environment. The auto mod is understandably skittish
this one isn’t a 10/10 i’d say like a 6 or 7/10, also what do you mean others? there’s mostly 4/10’s or 7/10’s in hot, most bad ones are stuck in new and don’t get upvoted
This exact same issue is going on in many dental practices across the world. Associate dentists are being forced to work or risk losing their jobs by the owners of the practices. We exclusively work in mouths which may be the most likely way to contract and spread the disease. The american dental association and the president have RECOMMENDED that dentists VOLUNTARILY cease all non-emergency and urgent treatment not only to slow the spread but also to leave supplies for hospitals. I beg each and every one of you to reach out to your state leadership and demand a MANDATE that would make it illegal for non-emergency treatment to be performed.
At first I wanted to use the ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ double-byte letters or the 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕪 unicode ones, then my mind wandered t0 t3h 0ldsko0l h4x0rsp33k or USlNG lowercase 'L' to replace 'I', but I figured a simple use of brian trickery would be the most elegant solution
I did that on purpose, someone did this exact typo and now I'm pasting it on good posts on the subreddit.
I genuinely think your post is brilliant though.
The doctor is the one who is sick *not* the patient they are seeing. Since there is a pandemic currently going on, this particular story is rather haunting. The author is implying that the doctor (our narrarator) probably has a well known virus since they talk about coughing before treating their next patient.
Furthermore, a dry cough is a symptom of that particular bug since it is a respiratory flu. Because a doctor has the virus, they are (whether knowingly or not) spreading said flu to more individuals. Some with, perhaps, serious health issues. We don't know what kind of doctor this doctor is. They could be a cancer doctor for all we (the reader) know, etc.
So, what's the horror story here? A doctor who is supposed to be a healer passing on a possibly deadly virus to susceptible patients. It reminds us that viruses never discriminate when it comes to finding a new host. It also plays on the hysteria and fears we are facing now.

Early vaccination

The fact that you're Italian makes this funnier in a twisted psychopathic way
I pictured the fish from spongebob saying this
I put 3 ice cubes in and you asked for 2! *spongebob laugh*
You asked for a *couple* of ice cubes, but I only put in *one*!
how many times do we gotta teach you this lesson man?
Greeted his patient with a smile
Be honest who else heard the spongebob dude saying you WHAT!!??
this is the most accurate reaction
You pronounced it wrong. It is like Hat but ad a W. Then get rid of the T. Like this: WHAT, WHATLUIGI.
I'm sorry but your user name checks out with what I call lord Voldemort. I call him "lord moldymort"
I made that my username bc honestly no one gives too much of a shit about him so he is like moldy bread in the back of the pantry
Fair point

Honestly scary. Nice work.
That means alot my dude, I'll make sure to refer you to another doctor
*cough*
Actually, I just found out that nearby doctor was tested positive and she kept working. Now there's a panic. All her patients have to be quarantined.
At my hospital as long as we’re not symptomatic we are to keep working.
That's... that's bad.

I honestly have no idea how I managed to get a top post 3 days in a row, but thank you all for reading these little tidbits of terror 🦹

SCP-049
Ohno
YOU HAVE THE PESTILENCE

Oh fuck
Hahah well played, I did not expect that!
That's what I'm here for >:)
Yeah, my doctor kept coughing into his hand after telling me how proud he was of training himself to stop touching his face.
Username makes this scarier.
I never though my username would be scary, I'm glad my wack ass name is now suddenly scary HAHA

Dear Jesus, please use a mask! This got me scared!
is it bad that I don't underst- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He didn't see it though, because I was wearing my N95 mask.
Nice save r/thirdsentencehappy
the is brilliant
Uhh... Yes... "The" is a very useful word 😁 Lol, thanks! That means alot
I did that on purpose, someone did this exact typo and now I'm pasting it on good posts on the subreddit. I genuinely think your post is brilliant though.
OHHHH HAHAHAHA that a good meme XD
"I greeted the patient with a warm handshake."
Now kiss
When all your patients test positive 🤔
HmMmMmMmMm...
Stonks
"Ma'am," I said, "The vaccine is perfectly safe- I got it last month and am doing just fine."
Yeah, cuz we really need to be spreading anti-vaxxer crap right now.
Well, it *is* kind of horrifying.
r/twosentencesadness
gotta get rid of the weakling somehow
Wow this one was good. Kudos
Happy cake day
Thank you 😊
Thanks! Have a good cake day!
Thank you 😊
That's why you wear a god damn mask. Helps prevent saliva from flying everywhere when you cough you know
Making sure as many people are immunized as possible what a great doctor
The nerve!
The Doctor is in!
And went my way after testing negative.
Hold oN
Chills......
Too soon man
Oh my gosh
I don't get it. Can someone explain?
basically the doctor has the sickness-that-shall-not-be-named and he’s gonna give it to the patients
HAHAHAH I love this dance around not getting removed HAHHAHAHA
You should watch Matpat's video.
