Would You Do Or Say Anything?

Sat down to a Sunday roast in a pub today, a woman (who looked to be in her early 60s), came in and joined a couple of her friends on stools by the bar near us...and proceeded to cough repeatedly. She put her hand to her mouth each time, but in a very casual way. Her friends, who she was quite touchy-feely with, said nothing about her coughing. I really wanted to, given the current Corona situation and that she was positioned by the bar where drinks and food were being served, but being British of course I didn't....though we quickly finished up our lunch and left the pub. I appreciate she didn't do anything wrong, as such, but.......would you have said or done anything?

That’s why people are stockpiling loo roll! Of course! It’s not for wiping their bums or eating. It’s for catching their sneezes. Just got it :)

I have an asthma cough, some days it's non existent but others it can be a bit persistent, I always cover my mouth, and no way would I sit at a bar, I'd prefer to be in a corner somewhere.

My friend has a problem with her cough reflex, she can have some pretty bad coughing fits, it can be triggered by anything, since the coronavirus has been in the news a lot she has become really worried and self conscious about eating out in the pub in case she has a coughing fit. just saying really that a lot of people have coughs for different reasons, I would imagine if the person had the coronavirus they would probably be feeling too unwell or feverish to be in the bar to start with!
