« on: August 14, 2009, 04:20:45 pm »
cleaned a house the other day and when the custy come to the door she had really bad flu. anyway i took the money went back to the van and coated my face and hands with alcholic hand cleaner i dont seem to be any the worse now. but i do clean my hands before eating or rolling a fAg now. any of you guys take precautions or are you just going to chance it :-\

do you really think the alcoholic hand wash will shield you from catching it, it will help, and I guess so would a face mask to some extent, but you could still catch it.

It is worrying though, a couple months out of commission could cripple the business's of small sole trader window cleaners, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it, if I do, touch would I don't and nor do any of you.

I think the idea is you stay at home so you don't infect others.

I wouldn't go to them for a couple of months, I am sure they would understand, or do them if you can and tell them to forward a cheque or something.

alcoholic handwash is very good

this is the main reason why they say the americans havent had it so bad, they have the pumps in all shops etc etc

what do you mean self self  self, you may have reserves of money to carry you through illness etc. but what would you do if you wern't so well off, not everybody is so fortunate to have a choice!!!!!

i think i should have included the fact that nearly all my custys pay by cheque or leave the money out. do not try to imply that i lack common sense. or lack respect for my customers. the whole poit of the post was to gauge how bad the flu affects you, and would it be possible within reason to work through it.
