...in the following circumstance? 

You're on a crowded train, on your way into London, in the morning.  Sitting opposite you is a woman, on the phone.  She is talking to her boss. You hear her say the following: "I am on my way in to work, but I am not feeling very well.  I think I might have picked up measles from my son.  I am going to get off the train at Charing Cross and get the first train home again". 

What would you do?

i would politely point out that if she should get off the train at the next stop if she thinks she has measles.

Tut loudly a few times without making direct eye contact, then moan about it to your work colleagues when you get in.

I'd phone the nearest tree surgeon. 

I wouldn't do that...they all gossip apparently

What would Brian Boitano do?
He'd make a plan and see it through.
That's what Brian Boitano'll do

I think this is the right answer.  But would you have the cajones to do it? I don't think I would. 

yeah, i'd have no problem talking to her about it

I like the push to changing the term "anti-vaxers" to "pro-diseasers" from some quarters. I know that much.

Not going far enough, should be known as "******* morons"

Rules are quite simple here, when you enrol for school, you can either prove your child has been fully vaccinated, or they don't go to school. I guess that's why China eradicated polio before Europe.

My friend is as sensible as can be with his own health, his Czech wife however is an anti vaxxer. Their son has not been vaccinated as a result and I desperately want to tell them, that my daughter isn't going round for play dates until he's vaccinated. He doesn't agree with her stance, but around a third of doctors in the Czech Republic (Where it is a mandatory treatment where fines are placed on parents that don't have children vaccinated) think that the vaccination is more dangerous than any of Measles, Mumps and Rubella. A worrying statistic and of course he went with her decision to keep her happy. 

The problem isn't that she isn't vaccinated, my daughter is.

The problem comes from the fact that the measles virus he can contract by not being vaccinated could mutate and then be a risk even to those that are vaccinated. It's simply not worth that risk.

He really should be an ex friend, you don't put your childs life at risk to keep the wife happy.

You've gotta sit him down and have a word.
