36. I was in Glendale AZ in December 2020

Was in a grocery store and a man in a maga hat came up to me and said Covid was a hoax and I don’t need to wear a mask. I said, I had a sore throat, a bad cough and felt achy but ok I’ll take off my mask. As I did I started “fake coughing” and the guy turned away from me and took off. My husband and son were in a different part of the store and when he found me he laughed so loud when I told him what just happened. Back in the car we continued laughing and told my Mother in law about it who also had a good laugh !
