After watching this little clip, I learned that coughing and sneezing in your sleeve is a good thing. The germs get trapped into the cloth and eventully die. I Would recommend this video clip to all the people I work with and go to school with because lots of people just turn around and sneez, they think its ok if they distance away from you when they do, but its obviously wronggggg!

Great video. I am going to get my boss to show it in the Micro classes next year when we do the hand washing lab.
Thanks

This is great!! I had my 7 year old watch it, I'm going to let my 3.5 year old watch it. Do you think it's appropriate for preschool? This is definitely one to pass around....Ahhhhh-ahhhh-choooo!
