   Here’s what I was thinking in writing this comic. I find that libraries are very bad at compelling folks to leave, even when they’re obviously sick. (In other circumstances I’ve been told that I couldn’t ask obviously sick individuals to leave, that if they made others uncomfortable with their hacking / sneezing / runny noses those who were uncomfortable should leave.) And I suspect that in many places already folks are being told they can’t compel anyone to leave if they’re sick — look at the variety of state and local laws out there. While I hope Jody could ask the patron to leave, I can also understand why she’s just trying to make the best of bad policy. (Lack of clarity and lack of joke in the comic my fault.)

      Thanks for explaining. That doesn’t change my first thought (“Why did she go to the library when clearly she’s self-aware and cares about others?!”), so even if this happened somewhere IRL, it felt unrealistic . . .

      . . . but regardless, Jody’s responses are amusing! 🙂 And that’s really the point to me, so yes, I did get the “making the best of bad policy” point and it did work as a joke! 😀
