Whilst sniffling and coughing and rolling around in the hotel bed, I realised I needed medical attention, so I called the concierge to get help.
“Oh, so you’re sick!” came the reply. “Not a problem, we’ll send our very own hotel doctor up to your room right away!”
The doctor strolled into the room within seconds, and whilst I stuttered and tried to comprehend the situation, he gave me some medicine to ease the symptoms. When I finally stammered out “h…how does the hotel have their own doctor on call?”, he simply shook his head and cracked a smile, and replied:
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
A lot of public schools are also just not fucking “modern” or clean to begin with. If there’s mold in the AC or the bathroom plumbing is constantly leaking/not flushing waste properly or the building is falling apart in the winter, people WILL get sick. this is especially common in poor neighborhoods and it takes a long-term toll on people’s health by weakening their immune system which makes it easier to spread the flu around and so on and so forth

This is the most hilarious thing to see on mobile.
