Original – "This 2009 photograph captured a sneeze in progress, revealing the plume of salivary droplets as they are expelled in a large cone-shaped array from this man’s open mouth, thereby dramatically illustrating the reason one needs to cover his/her mouth when coughing, or sneezing, in order to protect others from germ exposure."
Reason
Exhibit A why we should cover our mouths. (EV) I think this effectively captures the sheer amount of germs that can be spread through sneezing.
