The Subway Is No Place for a Cough - See Your Primary Care Doctor and Commute Comfortably

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

In a town as crowded as New York City, most people have in general tightened that invisible comfort zone that encircles each of us. Many of us went through this transition after moving here. When commuting home during rush hour after a long day at work we have learned to welcome any open seat on the subway, even if it means being wedged between two other large human beings.

It's when someone starts coughing to an unhealthy degree that people begin feeling perturbed. We all know the subway poles are crawling with germs from the thousands of hands that grip them every day, but we like to try and forget this in favor of experiencing a worry-free commute. But everyone knows when you cough on a subway you unavoidably touch a shared touching space, stamping your bacteria on a surface for another person's skin to inherit. So when you have an uncontrollable cough on the train you bring to the surface the unhygienic realities concerning public transportation that most people prefer to forget.
