Will you get vaccinated against COVID once it's available?

I wear a mask most of the time, but I'll answer the question. When I sneeze? Yes, and I turn my head away from others as well. When I cough? No.

That's an interesting approach. Why one and not the other? I find my hand reflexively covers my mouth either way.

If I sneeze, it's because something has triggered my sinuses. I don't want to spread my germs.

If I cough, it's because I'm choking. I wouldn't cover my mouth...the only way for the obstruction to exit.

That makes a certain amount of sense. In the unlikely event I was choking, covering my mouth would not be very high on my list of priorities. However, I have coughed far more often than I've nearly choked on food.

That makes sense. But I don't get sick, so I really don't cough. And I only sneeze if something aggravates my sinuses. Funny, but it just happened. I'm cooking some bacon and it's very heavily peppered.
