Recently I applied to open a bank account and the information bank officer coughed in my face without putting her hand over her face I was caught unawares and quickled flapped my bank brochure up and down to create a 'wind' and told her she should stay at home, she proudly told me said has accummilated all these 'sick' days up! I have have spent the last week, with high fevers/vomiting and now secondary infection to my chest! If someone hit me with their fist out of the blue in the middle of the street, that is assault! whats the difference? Ive spent a week in bed and feel weak and leaving to live overseas 20th Oct, I am cancelling trip as cant get out of my leased house in time due to this horrendous illness. So, why do people think they have the right to cough in your face (I also had this happen last year in the supermarket whilst reaching for a food item), no time to protect myself.....if our flu virus gets any worse we could be looking at death by coughing.so %$#@8selfish!!!

there is no way to assure equal protection of the law,if so nearly everything would be a crime.i get your point though,it falls into the same as someone knowingly giving you an std(which is a crime and many are unaware of that).Did you know that there is a county that makes it aganist the law for you to blow your nose in a food establishment?
yes,it should be illegal to transmit an illness.

When you learn to drive, a good teacher would tell you to drive with a sort of caution , as if the vehicle coming on the opposite side towards you is about to hit you ! They call this defensive driving ! This caution is good at all places... "Expect the unexpected !"
Really, no law is possible , because enforcing it would be too cumbersome, economically un-viable, and impractical !
But why look for some law to CHARGE offenders. Why not visualise or aspire for a society where people would become more considerate to others ? Let it take a few hundred years to materialise. But start the work now , just you and me together. Let others team up with us ! I am in it.
Best wishes !

The same germs and viruses are spread by breathing. You have a point, but enforcing this is probably impossible. I would withdraw all my funds from that bank if I were you, and LOUDLY tell everybody why during the busiest time of all at the bank, like on a Friday afternoon when people are trying to cash their paychecks.

any one should cover they're mouth when coughing,sneezing or yearning,special a doctor don't you just hate when at the doctor offices,he opens his mouth all the way back with out covering his mouth making all kinds of noises sounds just like a snake to me and it's very uncomfortable and very under educated special for a doctor,about that law i don't think it's going to happen,but when some like that happens to me i try to stay back from that person as much as i can the next time i see that person.

I would of slapped her!! Yeah, a law should be passed for it, but they are not going to do it. That would be too hard to prove in court. I would of went straight to her supervisor and explained to he/she that that worker needed to go home and get over her sickness, and then I would of closed my account and went to another bank.

I don't think a law will sort out any of your problems.
