Should flight attendants be required to advise people to cover their mouths when they sneeze?

It seems just as valuable as being told how to inflate life vests in case they crash into water. This can help prevent the spread of germs, they can be shown demonstrations on how to cover their mouth/noses when sneezing in the confined compartment where the same air gets circulated and is an incubator of spreading disease/flu.Should flight attendants be required to advise people to cover their mouths when they sneeze?
Aircraft are not incubators of disease. They are pressurized with fresh air from the outside, and the percentage of air that is recirculated is sent through very efficient filters. Additionally, the circulation in most airliners is vertical, rather than horizontal, so only someone sitting very close to you can give you a disease like a cold or flu.





Flight attendants have better things to do than to change procedures just to pander to a generalized and totally unjustified hysteria, created by media sensationalism.





Funny that nobody worries about passing on the ';normal'; flu, which is scarcely any different from the current star variety. It would indeed be nice if people thought about hygiene all the time, and not just when they are whipped into a paranoid frenzy by the press, but perhaps that is expecting too much, as it's difficult to remain hysterical for long periods.Should flight attendants be required to advise people to cover their mouths when they sneeze?
well, most people that travel are adults and therefore shouldn't have to be reminded to mind their manners (';shouldn't'; key word here).





But of course there are always those obnoxious, ignorant rude people that need a kick to remind them to cover their mouths!
If you dont know to do that, you arent all of a sudden going to do it when people tell you to.
