To have scolded teenagers for not wearing mask and coughing?

On the subway yesterday a group of young teenagers we sitting together opposite me. None with masks. One boy starts coughing and saying jokingly to other passengers "I've got covid".

I saw red and shouted at them saying it wasnt funny, they should be wearing masks and it was horrible how they were showing how they didn't give a shit about other people.

But now I feel bad! Maybe the teenagers were suffering these past few months and I shouldn't have acted like the covid police 😬

YANBU - I did the right thing giving them a piece of my mind
YABU - I should've ignored them they are only young

The OP was lucky they didn't assault her.

Yes, really lucky that some young men didn't attack a woman for daring to say that their behaviour is selfish and inappropriate. And no, not not wearing masks, but coughing and joking about having covid is what is inappropriate and selfish.
