00:00Just before the Christmas period there was a person behind me on my bus coughing and sneezing
00:05and I mean you can hear the difference between somebody covering and not covering themselves
00:09um you know I'm not really proud to say I did lose my temper a little bit and I was like can you
00:13for the sake of other people you know what I mean like I know maybe you may not care but
00:17I gotta go sit next to my grandpa on Christmas dinner and I don't really want to have the
00:21self-conscious thing of did somebody on a bus get me ill that then I'm passing that on.
00:26Working in paediatrics A&E I think it's really really important for the community to take the
00:31flu jab particularly just before Christmas I think it was like a mini epidemic of influenza A.
00:36And I get my flu jab now and I get my Covid jab and I've never had any problems so
00:42so far so good.
00:43If we all have that self-preservation and treat that towards how we treat everybody else
00:49I think generally you'd have so much less illness.
00:53I'd much prefer someone calling sick on a Thursday or Friday if it's busy
00:57that means I'm not feeling ill Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
