I went out to shop today, in the midst of the Coronavirus panic. I encountered a woman in a facemask. I was pretty sure from the start that she was wearing the mask for protection. That at the very least she didn't believe she had the virus and she wanted to protect herself from other people who had the virus. Because there isn't any testing in my area to tell people they have the virus. So I figure I have that much to talk to her about. With that topic in my back pocket, I make my approach...
: ...Are you okay?
: Yeah, I'm fine.
She gestures to her face mask.
: It's not coronavirus.
: Ah.
: I'm not worried about it. I actually wanna catch it.
: Whaaaat?
: Yeah I got nothin' to stick around for.
She chuckles politely.
: So if you did have it, and you could help me out...
: I can't help you with that.
And then we stood in awkward silence until her bus came.
