I'm in the lobby listening to my neighbor who is telling me his tale of getting the

new strain of COVID. - He was in the building's elevator one afternoon in early May when an out of breath upstairs neighbor catches the closing doors and hops in.
The doors close and immediately the fellow who lives upstairs sneezes the big sneeze - as described to me - Mt. St. Helens sneeze - . the
guy immediately says to my neighbor, not "to worry, I had got COVID 5 days ago and now I'm negative, I have all the antibodies now plus
I have all my vaccines. You're safe!"

My neighbor who was wearing a mask said a few things to this guy (like why aren't you wearing mask?) and gets out on his floor.
Of course my neighbor comes down with COVID
several days later as does his wife. They miss their vacation they had paid for, she ended up in ER. They have been suffering with this for what he
says is 7 weeks and counting. It's been a nightmare for the two of them. As he's telling me his tale, that upstairs neighbor walks in the front door
and says hello to the two of us as if he doesn't remember his sneeze.

Well, my neighbor stops him and asks him to recall the elevator sneeze. He says, "oh yeah, but it was okay because I wasn't sick anymore". to then
my neighbor goes ballistic. He in an undertone tells him his nightmare story of what happened because of the sneeze and not wearing a mask in a
small common space. (all the time he's relaying his experience, the upstairs guy keeps interrupting him with, couldn't have been me, you're wrong
you got it somewhere else and on and on. My neighbor, he doesn't miss a detail of his experience with COVID.

The upstairs guy says,"naw it wasn't me; I have my vaccines, you didn't get it from me. I had COVID in May, it's July." He continues, " and It's inappropriate
for you to blame me because you got sick." They argued loudly for a while to no avail. My neighbor told him not to take the elevator without wearing a mask.
The upstairs guy thought about it, looked at the elevator then wisely chose the stairs.


Was my neighbor right in recounting the elevator sneeze to this guy?


Jack, he is a banker
and Jane, she is a clerk
