What do you do when you sit down right next to a sneezing, coughing and nose blowing contagious person?

Had this happen on a saturday afternoon at the Aria (though it has happened before to all of us).

As fate would have it somewhere in the first round guy gifts me a double up... but all the while the fat old man to my right was literally blowing his nose every minute like clockwork.

Aaron the floorman got me a bottle of hand disinfectant but the germs they were a flying... then the sneezing started...

Paranoia kicked in and i started wondering if this is some sort perverse angle shooter...

I gave the guy lots of dirty looks and unwelcome "why are you playing sick comments...?"

Then a dealer (now just playing) says "poker is not a good game to play if you are a germaphobe."

So the question i have for everyone is: shouldn't casinos draw the line on sickness?

epilogue: eventually the old man chipped out. him and his germs got up from the table but left a mountain of snot rags on the tray between us...
