those factors are definitely the driving force but also people are going back to being fucking idiot dickheads. I hit my day ten and second negative test (with no symptoms after day 3) so day later we went to AC, NJ for a quick getaway before this wknd rush. Anyway, this morning while at the coffee shop in one of the casinos, this dumb bitch coughed at least 8 or 9 times. This wasn't a water down the wrong pipe kinda cough, those are hella embarrassing to me since the pandemic started but figure that happens to all of us at some point. You aren't sick, just got caught with something in your throat that you got to get it out. No biggie.
No, these were deep guttural dry throat chest coughs. She tried doing the smaller ones in her elbow but the 8-9 big ones were unstoppable and unmistakeable. We all got to eat but send the fucking kids, do room service, or order your shit and stand aside away from folk; don't just cough it up at your table in a full coffee shop. Gave her the stink eye and glad she saw it, fucking dumbass. And i know i'm probably exposed left and right from others on the subway or at the casino tables themselves but when it is that blatant and you're that reckless around others, you can fuck right off. Even if it wasn't covid, she sounded sick as hell, go fucking isolate.
