So polite! I hate coughing into my elbow because it looks odd to me. I can't imagine turning myself into a ninja. I think it would probably take a particularly nasty epidemic type situation for me to put on a mask realistically.

I saw it as a courtesy too. Here people couldnt care less about protecting others from contagious germs. You see this a lot with kids in public playgrounds and play areas. They obviously have a cold, green snot running out their nose and yet their parents still bring them around countless kids. -not cool IMO.
