I caught it from sharing a thirty minute meal with an in-law who didn't divulge that she had attended a party and had woken up coughing that day.

"It's just a cough, couldn't possibly be the respiratory disease that's defined the planet for the last year."

It boggles my mind how many people I've heard coughing followed by "don't worry, it's not covid". How on earth would they know?

Was she coughing when you met her, or had that symptom subsided?

She began coughing again right before she left. That was enough.
