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

    Is there something I’m missing? It wasn’t clear to me that he doesn’t have a mask or can’t get one.

      I’m in the same boat as you. Maybe it was in a comment somewhere that used to be upvoted.

      I believe that if OP had a mask in this situation, they would most likely wear it. So we should assume that they don’t have one
