If I'm stuck in the same area as someone who is clearly sick (runny nose, coughing etc) is there some combo of short/long breaths or nose/mouth breathing that's a better defense against catching it? - eviltoast

    Wear a mask and GTFO when you can. If it’s an airplane you can’t really do anything but hope and be extra cautious not to touch your face (a mask can help with this)… if it’s a bus or something then just GTFO unless it’s really low frequency and catch the next.

    Knowing the type of area would help.
