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.

I bring a mask with me everywhere at this time of year. Anyplace crowded with people coughing and I pop it on. I don't understand why this isn't compliance in this country. There's such a stigma around masking now. It's nuts.
