I could care less if people wear masks to protect themselves, but I do wish that people who are in public spaces coughing extremely aggressively and loudly, would think about the others around them and wear a mask. It comes across as extremely inconsiderate to me now whenever I witness this.

At this point everyone is going to get it anyway. And when someone coughs it may not even be covid. Personally it's only ever given me the sniffles rather than coughing (I mistook it for hayfever once).

But even if you're vulnerable, you're gong to get it sooner or later. This is why the vaccines are still being offered to vulnerable people. As healthy individuals can't even get it anymore here even if they want it.

The problem is that you can keep getting it. And the risk of long covid does not go away.
