Comment on 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?

  Because I don’t always have an N95 mask on my person? Because I can’t always 100% control my environment, but I can almost always exercise some control over how I breathe?

    Well, get some covid masks in your bag at all time. Like a lot of us are doing since many years now… Don’t play with your health

    I guess that’s fair.

    I’ve just adapted to always having a mask on my person. In a pocket or bag.

    But if there is some sort of breathing technique that works (other than not breathing, but sort of doubt) go for it.

    I just wanted to state my opinion and I guess my problem solving technique (the easiest and most effective/reliable option is usually best) but everyone has their own, and I understand that.

      The purpose of this AskLemmy post was to try to find an answer to this question
