Went out with DC and a friend this morning.
We started off in local soft play and went to a family pub for lunch.

The soft play was literally full of kids who more than half of them were coughing.
Adults were coughing too.

At first I thought I was just being a bit hyper vigilant, until my friend mentioned it to me and said she felt uncomfortable.

We headed to the pub for lunch and to our surprise, it was the same there only this time it was more adults coughing.

It wasn’t even the same people,

I know it’s that time of year and we have to expect colds etc, but surely if you’re coughing, with a continuous cough, during a pandemic, then you would stay at home… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I work in a school and we had to phone a parent to come and pick up as the child has said they'd been sick in the morning, so you will get some inconsiderate ones that don't give a shit about spreading illnesses but tbh it's well known that children can have coughs that don't necessarily stop them from doing their day to day stuff so I'd say it's just time of year
