Why Don’t We Do It In Our Sleeves?

Dr. Ben Lounsbury (an Ear Nose and Throat physician) suggests that if we don’t have a tissue, we should cough into our sleeves instead of hands. Why? So we don’t spread diseases… (the video is a hoot!)

That was great. That’s the technique that Boy learned when he was in preshcool and he taught it to all of us grownups.

The City of Toronto Public Health department is promoting this in ads around the city.

It’s a little weird to see posters telling me to do something that my parents forebade me to do.

That is well done. Therefore, more people will see it. Good job.
