A Wuhan medic cries with the stress of the coronavirus outbreak in this video:And in Australia, two people have been filmed entering in a bitter dispute on a Sydney train, after a woman coughed without appearing to adequately cover her face.
The man and woman were sitting opposite each other on the train when the man, who called the woman "disgusting" per News.com.au, said "Can you cover our mouth when you cough please?”
“I did not open my mouth when I coughed. I coughed inside my mouth," the woman responded, before the man told her "that's disgusting".
“Yeah, well you’re disgusting too,” the woman fired back, before appearing to lean towards the man and aim a mock cough in his direction.
“Are you serious? Did you just cough at me?” he asks, “Yeah! I don’t have a pandemic,” the woman replies, then calling the man a “bully”.
And people reacted with dismay to the incident on Twitter.
"Welcome to public transport It’s like this all the time, pandemic or not. So many charming, considerate people out there." One Twitter user wrote.
The video caused a debate on social media, with some people stating that the woman should have known to cover her mouth when coughing. “My two-year-old knows to cover her mouth and cough into her elbow,” one Twitter user wrote.
However others weren't so sure, “That dude needs to lock himself inside if he’s that worried,” another person wrote.
