I had to go into the city today. I went into a few shops and a shopping centre. Nearly everywhere I went to, there were people coughing. I had to get a bus home and there was someone coughing and it sounded like a crops between a dry and chesty cough.
I was walking down stairs today and a man was walking up the stairs. He turned his head into my direction just to let out a big cough, right into my ear and head direction. 'Go fuck yourself' says I and it was only then he may have realised something and he did apologise but still.
There was no manners being carried out by many, many people. No containing germs. No attempt to even cover a cough. It was all just cough, cough, cough into the open.
I had to go to town today.
Unfortunately I am now anxious that I am exposed to whatever is going around. I am not overly anxious about covid. It's not about covid. I can't afford to get sick right now. I have an important week coming up next week not only that work will kill me if I get sick and have to stay away. They won't kill me but they won't be pleased with me having time off. I have an underlying condition as well to manage.
How hard is it for people just to carry out manners and cover their coughs. Just cover any potential germs and quit spreading around their colds and flus and whatever else they might have and just minimise the onwards spread to other people.
