    Oh how I wish...

    You just can't discriminate against people because their medically handicapped.

    That's different then just being temporarily I'll.

    There should be something in place nationwide where sick people could be removed from the public spaces, so they don't spread their germs around, and get everybody else sick.

    Realistically it aint never going to happen though.

    I think that's harsh.

    For one, I can study fairly well with a little background noise and two, most people these days have earbuds in their ears anyway.

    The only thing about a cougher that would bother me is if they aren't covering their mouth and just blasting the mist everywhere.

    The cougher should not need to be asked to leave. He or she should leave on their own and get the coughing taken care of.
