I have a long ride from my D stop in The Bronx to my job at W. 15th St. and 8th Ave., but at least I always get a seat. Today the guy sitting behind me coughed four or five times a minute all the way down to midtown Manhattan--about 45 minutes till he finally got off. I am mindful that the New York City Subway is mass transit for pathogens too. I can't say that I blame the guy: He should've stood in bed. But there were times when I had a deadline and went to work with a cold--and probably infected everybody. So, deadline met, and it's not as if there's an incentive to stay home sick.
When I got to work this morning, I Googled to find out whether there were any health benefits to catching cold (why not think positive!). I didn't find any benefits, but I did find this news item. Also, if that guy's condition deteriorates totally, there is at least this positive benefit. Presumably my fellow passenger from The Bronx is a Yankees fan.

Wow! Les Abimes... isn't it A-MA-ZING? I saw it too, in Paris 2 weeks ago.
The amazing part is that they really manage to make you feel something and stay with you for a long time.
No way! And you're going to leave an anonymous comment? At least let's be MySpace friends or something.
