I saw a lady in my local Safeway hacking up a lung into the milk fridge as I was waiting to grab some myself. I figured screw the milk and left without saying any words to her but she definitely could tell I wasn’t impressed. If I could go back in time I’d say something but this was before the insanity began. From now on I’ll be sure to speak up.
My 5 y/o knows to cover his mouth ffs.

I’ll start by saying I always cough into my elbow. But realistically, have you ever been beside someone cough into their elbow? My wife did the same thing a couple days ago. I got the full ricochet to my face. Sure, your not spreading it to your hands and touching everything in sight, but your elbow doesn’t magically absorb all the particles. It’s like farting into a walll. Your still going to smell it (ok not quite but you get what I mean. Little particles of bodily fluids are floating around until they lose their terminal velocity and come to rest). Coughing into your elbow doesn’t all of a sudden make you Mr Clean.
