Why not your sleeve?
Watch this video if you are a person that coughs and sneezes. I heard a few years ago that there was a movement to change the way we do this, and now I know it’s true. You could learn some valuable information about why it is important to cough and sneeze into fabric and not your hands! –And you’ll get a good laugh too.
They teach this in my childrens school, and I have tried to pass it on to my younger ones as well. The video is pretty cheesy, but it’s got a real point. Thanks Amy!
I learned about this method when I was working at SSI. You can imagine with so many clients and staff it was very important to keep everyone and everything germ-free as much as possible.
I can’t believe that I watched the whole video. I want those six minutes back. Just kidding. Thanks for passing this on, Amy.
Its going to be hard to break the habit of sneezing into my hands….
Can we show this at church? Funny stuff. There are times I’d like a moratorium on shaking hands – especially during cold and flu season. I wash my hands frequently when among crowds, and try to avoid touching my face. At the end of a bout with a 2-week cold, I made resolutions – it just isn’t worth being careless.
