Q: A new survey says that 80% of people surveyed would take a pay cut to avoid this?

A: Ever getting sick again

According to a new survey, 88% of people say they do everything they can to avoid sick people so they don’t catch anything.

 57% clean things that a sick person touched . . . 48% avoid food that was cooked by someone who’s sick . . . and 31% have canceled plans with a person who wasn’t feeling well.

 

But here’s the question:  Do you hate being sick enough that you’d take a PAY CUT if it meant you’d never get another cold?  80% of people say . . . YES.

 

The survey also found 61% of people would rather sit next to a crying baby on a long flight than someone with a cold.
