We would get all of these guys at the Air Force Base who were sent over by their unit because they had a cold. They would require a doctors note. I started getting on the phone and calling the commanders and telling them that if a guy had a cold and was sick and he wasn’t toxic, he could just be sent home and he didn’t need to come in for a mandatory doctors visit. Walking around and going to the clinic just exposed more people to the illness. it actually worked and they started giving them a 48 hour pass or something like that. Occasionally, common sense can prevail.
