Coughing colleague

Someone I work with does not stop coughing.
Theyve worked here over a decade and other colleagues tell me it’s always been the same, just as gross the day they started as it is now.

This is an office, Petri dish for germs.

They have been told by many colleagues over the years to please, cover your mouth.

They sit there, coughing mouth open no hand over at the screen.
Ive politely asked ‘can you cover your mouth’ and I get rather aggressively ‘I AM’.
(They don’t)

AIBU to just internally chat or say loudly -
‘cover your mouth’

I understand there may be underlying health issues so the cough I can tolerate, the bad manners is driving me skatty.
