nothing covers your mouth like a hand

"If you need to cough or sneeze, please use your elbow pit or upper arm to cover your mouth."

I find that when I remember to do this, my sneeze goes right under my elbow and it is totally ineffective. I guess I need more practice.

Try turning your head and burying your your face in your shoulder just at your upper arm it also smothers the sound. hahaha its wednesday and Im commenting on how to sneeze.

sick.
I just do those muffled sneezes that are not satisfying at all.
BUT when I'm at home by myself I stick my tongue out while I sneeze which entirely defeats the purpose.
