UNCIVILIZED COUGH ON A JETSTAR PLANE

On Saturday 9th March my wife and I flew form Perth to Adelaide on the Jetstar flight JQ975 of 3:55 p.m. We sat on 3E and 3F. My wife was sited on the window side while I was on the middle seat. On the left, next to me, was a gentleman who coughed all the way to Adelaide without ever putting his hand or a handkerchief in front of his mouth. I said to my wife that this coughing man was worrying me - how right my worries were! By Tuesday 11th March, I had a sore throat, a runny nose and a horrible cough. Ten days later and I still have a runny nose – however less – and cough that doesn’t want to go away. My wife, on the other hand, has been in bed for the last two days and I believe she’s blaming me for her cold – instead of the man who sat next to me from Perth to Adelaide.

Why I am writing this?

Well, I hope that someone from Jetstar reads this and sees the need to find a way to explain to “some savages” who board Jetstar planes that: USING A TISSUE OR A BARE HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR MOUTH WHEN COUGHING OR SNEEZING IS A CIVILISED JESTURE THAT COULD HELP CONTAIN THE SPREADING OF YOUR HILLNESS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
