Narrative:
Past 3 days have been very trying. Passengers are able to board the planes ill. Coughing; sneezing; even having the appearance of being ill. I am at the end of my 3 day and instead of looking forward to going home; I am reluctant in that I may be bringing the virus home to my family. Please see if the company can have cdc (center for disease control) come out and have crew members tested in base. Crew members are around hundreds of people a day and could very well be transmitting the virus to others. Please let me know when and how this necessary procedure could be implemented to best serve our customers and each other. Thank you.
