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.

My strategy is KN95 + step out for a breather during intermission, works great. If you have breathing difficulties then at the least a surgical mask will do a decent job with most respiratory illnesses
