Yup remember to stay home. I see so many people walking into stores and then they cough on people. News flash, your sickness is not a Christmas present

People dont wash their hands. I see so many people walk right out public bathrooms skipping the sink.

If only there was a whooping cough preventative. Oh wait - there is!

I had walking pneumonia as a kid and was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. Don't mess around with this, folks.

I have had a cough for what’s felt like two months, I cannot kick it. It’s horrible. I don’t know how to get better 😢

They should add Tennessee to the list! Kids all around here had pneumonia and doctors had no idea what was going on. 1/3 of students were absent at a time. Teachers were calling it the “mystery illness” for a long while.

You're wondering why there is "this whooping cough?" Really?
Gosh, I can't imagine why that would be going around.

College students forget they need a booster after 10 years and the anti vax movement is creating big probs. After 50 you need more boosters.

Go to the Hospital 🏥? Nobody can afford that 💰.
