Coughs and sneezes spread diseases was the saying way before Covid.

Then for a few years people did cover up when coughed and sneezed.

Now see people of all ages coughing and spluttering without covering up mouth and nose. Why?

How about people who help prepare food for large groups when they have a bad cough or are full of cold? Had a situation recently where two people carried on rather than excuse themselves.

What about the ones that will open a fridge door in a shop and cough into it? Or cough all over the ATM while using it 🤮 just a few actions I've witnessed while out and about this week

My partners just had 2 weeks off work with covid thanks to some creep sitting next to him coughing on the train. I think its assault frankly.

It’s awful isn’t it. I’ve Stage 4 cancer, work on a supermarket checkout and am coughed on umpteen times a day.
