I hate that I do this, but after a few times of trying to explain myself I took to just barely croaking out "I'm REALLY sick *cough* *cough*" and so far every one of them has run, not walked, away from me.
@BE It truly fascinates me how people are so casual about getting sick, but run away because of that.
I've had people avoid me too (walking around me with a big gap in distance) when masking. They think I'm sick and suddenly distance themselves too (but never put on a mask themselves. I wonder if they regret it at that point?).
Does it activate their 'actually oh no sickness = bad, bye' switch? Who knows. As long as they keep away.
