Ok, last run of the night to DFW around 9:45 PM last night. I work as a shuttle driver from a hotel in the DFW airport area. I have been working there since July, since being called called back after being furloughed back in April.
Pick up a no more 30 year old white guy with no luggage, except a computer case, go to the next call, and it is a white couple, and then I get a call for another pick up, and it is a white guy 35 and a 3 year old boy.
So I go back on my normal route back, and they are doing road construction, so I do go by my usual shortcut detour routes and they are blocked and this is when the 30 year develops a cough.
The 30 year old with the computer case was wearing a mask, but could not tell if he was faking.
Now THAT’S a story!
I cleared my throat reading this post. I think I’ll post this event in Breaking News.
“I could tolerate any, any insurance seminar, for days.”

Oh yeah? How about a “Exciting Time Share Opportunity”?
Interesting that your detours were blocked. Sounds like it was planned.
A Rat super-spreader trying to spread the virus. I think they have been seeding the virus . . . again.
Wait that’s a story? Really, people gotta be less goofy. So he coughed. People cough all the time. Especially when they’re inhaling lint. I understand caution, “he coughed” is not a story and a sign of needless paranoia.
Nah, we’ll totally return to what we were. What we were was convenient. And convenient always wins. 5 years from now it’ll be “remember when”.
My wife and I had the Covid. Passed through us within 10-14 days. My wife’s dad who is 83 years old that lives with us also got it. He survived. He has cancer, diabetes and 80% blockage artery. It’s the pneumonia that almost got him. The virus passed through him in 10 days. He is up and around now just weak. Almost everyone I see around Salem Oregon has got it and survived. Even all the old guys I see at the bar when I stop for a quick beer after golf. I saw the 78 year old man with hospital gown and hand band wrist who just got out of the hospital sitting there having a beer. He was in the hospital for a week with pneumonia after the virus had passed. All he wanted was a beer.
I was talking to my neighbor yesterday, then there was a cat. Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia.
Had it never had a cough. No fever but you will know you have it. But you can still function. Your brain and your aching body will let you know. Then the intense pain on your back and legs. Aleve and Tylenol were my medicine of choice to numb the pain. Then the chest pain and shortness of breath. It lasts for 2 days and then it’s gone. But the Covid brain lingers on for a while.
I remember that I coughed once. It was terrible. It left emotional scars for years.
I do "health" profiling now and a persistent cough is now one of the warning signs.
Ihaven’t heard anybody cough SINCE the China Virus came.
That’s what I LIKE about the maks... when I got it on I can cought and cought and cought and don’ even has ta cover muh mout.
If you are saying that working on the front lines is difficult because of all of the filthy coughers then I say you’re right, thank you and goodluck. Or if your saying that there are 30 yro covid spreaders infiltrating your front line bus route then I’m game for more reports in the future.
I would say a 30 year old infiltrator. I am always leery of people with no luggage from the airport. If they have no luggage, they are usually getting a ride because they returned a rental car from the rental car center.
A cough will clean out a room faster than a wine and pizza fart....
New HBO Series in the making, Airport Shuttle Bus Confessions.
can’t leave us hangin, bro..
were you wearing a mask?
was everyone else wearing a mask?
how much time did the blocked shortcut add to the trip? Did you have to drive in reverse ? that makes me queasy...did anyone get queasy ?
if he was coughing a lot, there eventually would be slobber stuff in the mask rendering it useless?
Did he leave the mask on your shuttle bus? Did the coughing fit start anyone else coughing?
Can’t wait for next week to find out the thrilling answers in this continuing saga.
