You sneeze into the crook of your arm, you’re not sneezing into your hands; the idea is to not sneeze into your hands to prevent passing on the germs to the next person you touch.
And if you’re so sick that you’re spewing mucous instead of just a saliva spray, why didn’t you have a tissue? :-)
Oh I completely understand the purpose of not sneezing into the hands so as to avoid transmitting cooties of all types. But, if you’re slinging snot when you sneeze, it’s probably just better to not be out of the house.
I just hate sneezing into my arm on my clothes and try to use tissues instead and squirt the hand sani.
Not table manners related but I detest it when I see someone sneeze or blow their nose and then they head over at church to shake my hand. Nuh-uh!
