AITAH for uninviting a couple from dinner

[u/ToooFastToooHard]

So our group of 3 (myself, wife, and another friend) had breakfast/brunch plans following a drop-off at school. In the parking lot we bumped into another family (husband/wife) that we are cordial with, but not super friendly. The husband of this other family recently had COVID like 2 1/2 weeks ago and still has a HORRENDOUS COUGH. Like the kind the takes your breath away. They mentioned, what are ya'll doing now? Any plans? It was awkward, and one of us kind of blurts out that we're getting brunch... I cringe... The family of coughers then "invites" themselves with a "can we join you?" This is such a bait ask, right, cause you kind of HAVE to say yes. So my wife sheepishly says ok.

We get in the car, and I'm like ""NO F-ING WAY" am I eating brunch with a lung'er... The 3rd wheel in our group then volunteers to uninvite them, by making some COVID anxiety story. This all goes down at the restaurant, sort of worked. The coughing party of 2 decides to sit at another table, we go our separate ways.

TLDR? If I didn't speak up in the car, we would have proceeded with all eating together, now my wife's says I'm the asshole for the situation.
