No wonder it's so easy to catch a cold when some people thoughtlessly cough and sneeze without covering it up.

Say it. Don’t spray it.

100mph was a guess from the early 1900s. It's since been debunked. Please use facts from recent sources. Or, word the question "some believe..." Thanks! "The study found that a sneeze’s maximum velocity is nowhere near 100 meters per second but instead reaches a high of 4.5 meters per second, or 10 miles per hour. That’s comparable to the velocity of air expelled by coughing—and a violent cough can push up a larger volume of air, which requires even more force."
