"
Lots of people
aren't getting the message about covering their coughs and sneezes.....Among 384 coughs and sneezes the students
observed, fewer than 5 percent were covered up with a tissue,
handkerchief, or elbow. More than a quarter weren't covered at all.
Nearly two-thirds of the time people coughed and sneezed into their
hands, a practice that's now frowned upon because infection may spread
via unwashed hands and contaminated surfaces."
