Narrative:
Given today's health pandemic and unsure of the health standing of flight attendant Y after hearing multiple coughs throughout the trip; I opted to not sit in my assigned jumpseat sitting shoulder to shoulder with [flight attendant Y]. Instead I occupied the first first class seat during takeoff and landing.during this current health crisis where it is recommended we practice social distancing; I believe it will be helpful if the FAA/company considered a fas seating position during these times.
