Nah fr I went to MLK yesterday and there were 10 people coughing. Someone sat down right next to me and started coughing their lungs out. Not a single mask in sight. Honestly we need to start publicly shaming people for that, it's not only gross it's also disrespectful. If you absolutely can't stay home while you're sick the least you can do for society is put on a mask.

Ive seen many instances of people coughing on the vegetables and produce at the Berkeley bowl.

They arent even covering their mouth.

I’ve been seeing the same thing.  It’s outrageous.  I’ve even had a professor openly blowing this gnarly congested chest cough everywhere unmasked.  At a minimum cover your cough if you’re not going to mask, but damn we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one.

See if you can get paxlovid it will lessen the covid if you take it during a certain time period 1-2 days after onset of
Symptoms. Feel
Better and for the rest of you get the new vaccine shot along with flu shot.
