Somethin' interesting

On the LRT today, I saw a lady carrying a bag which had a very interesting question printed on it.

What a challenge to try to do something extraordinary each day...something good which serves others.

Sneezing: To cover or not to cover

I read an interesting article on yahoo this morning "Yuck: Few people correctly cover coughs, sneezes". Like most people, our hands automatically fly to our mouth when we sneeze. Well, in an attempt to protect society from germs from flying around, the germs may be spread further…unless further precautions are taken i.e. washing hands right after sneezing! If not, it is inevitable that we will touch doorknobs and switches among other things. 

Health officials recommend the "Dracula" move. Remember how Dracula suddenly draws up his cape? Haha. That's the way to cover a sneeze. Weird... and I would think--unsanitary too as it spreads germs to the clothes. Not ideal as research shows only 1 in 77 did this. Good news! Another preferred option is using a tissue or handkerchief.

Something to think about the next time we sneeze!
