About the sneezing in the arm thingy...

What's the difference between that and simply covering your face with your hands when you sneeze?

1. You touch things with your hands.

Things like doorknobs, keyboards, phones, other people's hands, other people's other things. I open relatively few doors with my elbow. YMMV.

3. It's rather hard to change a 34 year-old habit!

I've always turn my head and cover my face with my hands when I sneeze.

I'm now a Swine Flu deviant.

4. Oh, I know. Just mentioned this to my asst yesterday.

I'm trying, but don't know if I'll ever get in the habit. But I understand, and agree with, the rationale.

2. If you're going to wipe your nose with your sleeve, you're already there.

9. It's easier to wash your hands after a sneeze than your bicep.
