Please post some.

And I've read articles stating the same.

(suspects admitted to walking around coughing on people)
Why do people have to do stuff like that?

It is an assault.

During his transport to a detention facility at police headquarted, Daniels continually removed the N95 mask that officers had placed upon him and repeatedly coughed on officers.
"I hope you all get the virus," Daniels said while deliberately coughing on them.
Daniels has been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer (4th degree) and obstruction (disorderly persons offense).

Absolutely NO dramatization by the media however.

It's the same crime as someone with HIV/AIDS has sex on purpose to infect someone, therefore your death-causing sicknesses is a weapon, therefore it is a crime.

So stay home, far away from anyone who might cough the "Cough Of Death" within earshot of you.

You asked me to post and I did. I didn't come up with the idea that coughing on people is an assault. Authorities did that.

Don't you think it's a bit ignorant and immature that people are purposely coughing on or around people who are trying to protect themselves? Since when did trying to protect yourself from a pandemic become such a joke to so many? I'm sorry you can't understand the concept of common courtesy. If this were happening at any other time except now you would probably think it was rude and nasty. However, it's all about muh freedom, so rudeness and hatefulness seem to get a pass. Thankfully, such behavior doesn't seem to be the norm. It's stunning that so many would try to normalize these actions as acceptable behaviors. I'm reading that in many states, including the reddest of red states TN, that people are being prosecuted. As it should be.

Just had a little incident with a "social distancing" idiot in Staples. We're all wearing masks. I enter and try to decide which direction to go for what I need. Mr '6 foot social distancing' idiot stands beside me and says "excuse me". I ignore it.

For the record for all you social distancing mask-tards: I'm wearing the damn mask. If it ain't enough for you move over when you see me coming. I'm don't move for you.
