At Urgent Care

I am at an Urgent Care
there is only one other person here
We are wearing masks but his is not effective
Because he is speaking on the phone

He is coughing up ponies, cats, dogs, and elephants
I move chairs to get a bit further away
He does not notice

I feel uncomfortable and unsafe
I want to get out of here before he coughs up a gorilla
They call my name and I do not mind getting weighed
