Did anyone else think this is ironic?steemCreated with Sketch.

Something I found ironic with all the coronavirus fear...

Did anyone else notice how we are all being instructed to sneeze into our elbows, and then how we are also being instructed to elbow bump instead of shaking hands?

That seems a bit of a contradiction to me...

We are supposed to avoid shaking hands because it might spread the virus, but we are actively touching elbows, the place where we are being instructed to sneeze into...

Something about that seems a bit off...

But what do I know, stay safe out there!

Stay informed my friends.

Agree. This is what happens when two well intentions acts collide. Humans often have a need to replace one habit with another.

Sneeze in the inner of the elbow, elbow bump with the outer part of the elbow.

I guess unless you really spray all over your elbow, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

Well, you don't touch food with your elbows and also you usually don't touch your face with them.

But do not let anyone else sneeze in your elbows, that would be bad...!

They also said the virus won't live long outside human body. They aren't 100% sure if it can live long in pets though.
