The worlds population is getting bigger. Year by year, millions of people are being added to the huge population. Along with this new diseases are being discovered afflicting people around the world. Remember the SARS, the Meningococcemia and now the H1N1. As a result, expensive vaccines have to be formulated by researchers to comabt these diseases. But what is the cause of these disease? Disease causing micro organisms. Yes! This micro organisms can be eliminated and spread of diseases prevented by just simple manners. People spit, sneeze, cough or yawn in public, what should we do? Even though we observe frequent hand washing, microorganisms are in our whole body, in our dress, bags, things we carry. This different kinds of microorganisms, we bring to our family at home. Think about this, a large percentage of us takes public transportation to and from the office everyday. In the train for example, its jampacked with passengers, almost all of them are sitted or standing so close to each other.One can breathe the others breath.Can smell its others sweat. Not only smell the sweat but the sweat of the one next to you can be your sweat too because of the skin to skin contact. When the one next to you sneeze and she does not know how to cover her sneeze you could feel the droplet right on your face. When someone coughs, still she forgot to cover her mouth you could smell that foul odor brought by the cough. Then here's another passenger on your left, she yawns with her mouth wide open that you can already see her hard palate and that triangular thing hanging at the opening of her throat. Wow! What a beauty! Can't we just have some manners to cover our mouth when we sneeze, cough and yawn? Specially ladies in nice clothes going to the office. Then soon as you come out of the train here's a man coughing with phlegm and spit out the phlegm right on the pavement where the passengers who came out of the train are walking. Oh what a world of germs. Are we not taught proper manners by our parents and teachers? Comment please!
