Original Note:
"Catch your coughs and sneezes in a tissue" is called Cough Etiquette in the IPC Industry, and it DOES NOT WORK. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2458-13-811 All face coverings do work, but N95s work best at 98% stoppage even with untrained volunteers. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240604/N95-respirators-potential-standard-of-care-in-nursing-homes-and-healthcare-settings-during-respiratory-viral-infections.aspx This also ignores the aerosols from just breathing & talking.
