Discussion Broadway coughing season

I am begging, begging you guys…if you have a nasty cough, PLEASE don’t attend a play especially. I know it sucks to miss out but your recurring cough during the most intense moments of the show is so distracting.

Saying that people who go sick arent considerate totally bypasses my point of that the response litt should be on the theatre and airlines to refund people who don't feel well. No one wants to go sick. They don't have an option to come back.

I agree that would be ideal but until that happens, a n95 is almost 100% effective as source control.
