well, anecdotal “evidence” is often not particularly meaningful: I was on an AS flight from LAX a week ago and someone three rows ahead of me caught every 30ish seconds for about half an hour. We were not diverted, no call for a doctor aboard was made, the FAs didn’t put on hazmat suits, no one was reseated, no face mask was forced upon or offered to the “offender”. Guess we Americans have heard coughing fits before, too.
