Narrative:
During the safety demonstration (it had just begun) the deadheading pilot in X1; got up from their seat; push me aside; physically; to go to the forward lav. His face was red and eyes watering. Proceeded to cough profusely in the lav. I called the captain at this time. I told him what was happening. The captain told me as long as he is wearing a mask that he; the captain; will not do anything. The pilot in the lav remained there throughout the whole safety demonstration. I never stopped the demonstration. But I am supposed to if everyone isn't in their seats. I should follow what I know is right and stop the safety demonstration. Even if it is a deadheading pilot and not worry about any repercussions from the captain even though he didn't act in a manner that was supportive of my and everyone's safety.
