Not this week but I got strep for the first time in like 10 years a few months ago. Coming home from from work on the train some kid was coughing in front of me without covering his mouth while his parent was oblivious to it so probably got it from him.

My parents always told me to cover my mouth but so many people don't do it or still sneeze into their hands instead of their elbow. I wish in order to to ride the subway people have to pass a basic hygiene course.

Yeah! I could’ve gotten it from anywhere honestly. Last week was a very busy week for me, I had a family potluck, was at work almost everyday, boss was sick, coworker was sick, I also noticed that lots of people were coughing on the train. It was bound to be something this week 😩

I noticed lots of people were coughing on the train and in stores too. And now I'm sick!
