Sneezing during Corona times

India
August 24, 2020 12:40am CST
Before Corona became famous sneezing was considered normal and no one would mind it if you ever sneezed in public. Now that Corona has become famous, if you dared to sneeze in public two things will surely happen. First thing is people around you will run away thinking you might infect them with the corona virus and the second thing is, you will be forced to get yourself tested for the corona virus. You just need to pray to God that you are not tested positive . It's better to sneeze in private than in public else face the consequence

that is true. Also to cough in public when you have itchy but not sore throat and just needs to clear your throat. People around you will look at you like you are an alien. ahaha

Yes a sneezing or coughing person is always made to feel guilty conscious although every sneeze or cough can't be due to the Corona virus

I can definitely see how that would be a problem. I would probably move away from someone who was sneezing or coughing too.

@jayanth_77 I do try and avoid public places. The only places I have been so far is the doctor and dentist. I worry about my brother because he has all the risk factors and has to work with the public and goes grocery shopping sometimes.

@simone10 Your brother just needs to keep distance and wear mask and shield while in public.

Yes moving away from a sneezing person is the right thing to do. Better maintain a safe distance of 2 meters from other people and better still avoid public places.

Yes sneezing has become a curse now. Although sneezing can be caused due to variety of reasons like dust or smoke or while preparing spicy food and so on.

@jayanth_77 Yes it's a body's natural reaction to discard of any irritating foreign stimuli. Well corona symptoms include dry coughing. So sneezing is still safe
