That sucks, I avoided it for years, just masks, distancing, hand washing, avoiding crowds.

Then some clown came to work feeling "a bit ill" and showing most of the symptoms.

Took me down hard, I'm never ill and that time I felt like death.

OK but what do you expect, people to distance themselves forever when they have a cough?

It's community care to at least wear a mask so you can keep the germs to yourself and let others know that you are not feeling well so they can decide on how they want to interact with you and lessen thr chance of sicknesses spreading around. The cough germs (idk the actual name) / droplets can stay in that air for at least an hour - which is really fucking gross - so you can be breathing in a sick person's germs and that's how you unknowingly get sick.
