The Story behind the Sleeve

i forgot how to sneeze into my sleeve, good thing they put this on youtube or i would have spread swine across the world. Thanks YouTube =D

but then you have germy clothes!! D=

i'm too jacked to wear short sleeves and snot is great lube, So i'm gonna stick with my short sleeves and sneezing into my hand.

hahah people have too much time on their hands

You know in 2 years they will tell us that the sleeve is a terrible place to cough or sneeze, just like raw eggs were good, then bad, oils were bad, now good.

You could keep some purell with you. Cough into your hands and then clean your hands with it

THANK YOU for the video. I figured out this method of covering my sneezes 20 years ago when I found myself commuting by NYC subway. After a few days of seeing people cough or sneeze into their hands then immediately use that same hand to grab a strap or pole for support, I figured out there had to be a better way. It was almost 20 years before I saw the first posters promoting this. The CDC endorses this - hopefully they will start promoting it at all the swine flu press conferences.

Yes! but waht if the person hugs someone

Well, coughing in the sleeve is the best alternative to coughing in the hand if you don't have quick access to a tissue. Maybe you can hug the person with the other arm?
