How Far Can a Sneeze Travel?

We all know sneezes and coughs spread germs, but did you ever wonder how far those tiny droplets can go? Our producer suited up and wore a protective face mask to find out first hand! After running a demonstration, our investigation found that the droplets of fluid released when you cough or sneeze might go a lot farther than you thought. Dr. Jack Caravanos, a professor of environmental public health at NYU, says that in an office, sneezes can sometimes reach eight desks away! #InsideEdition

Can someone explain to me how this is accurate? She’s faking a sneeze and he’s using a spray bottle to demonstrate this which doesn’t make any sense

correction
"how far can a spray bottle travel?"
tbh you cant compare a hand squeezed bottle to a pressurized sneeze

[itschris]

This is like using a hose to show how far a man can pee.

This is why i don’t trust most studies, who sneezes like this ? Spray bottle? lol

[AndyK]

One of the most scientific experiments i've ever witnessed... Almost as scientific as when I shot a bullet out of a slingshot next to a gun to simulate a bullet being shot out of a gun...

[darkespeon]

how is this accurate youre using a device meant to spray liquid everywhere

[cadenm]

A spray bottle is different from a freaking nose


What the heck were they thinking?

[jasontung]

People used to tell me "Bless you" when I sneezed in public. Now they ask me to get out.

God, with the virus at hand, that's a terrifying sneeze even a "Bless you" wouldn't save you

They could have literally done anything to get her to actually sneeze, but using a spray bottle... Really now. Why do I bother watching Inside Edition with their more "educational" videos? 🙄

[ndeath]

Can't they just spray the bottle without the girl acting like she sneezing!?

[tymepolo]

Why do they even need the person pretending like she was sneezing...they literally only needed the bottle which also made no sense

[dbuzsju]

This is not how far a sneeze goes, it's how far a spray bottle goes

[AQuestioner]

If you're going to use a spray to do the experiment, why do you need a person to do a sneeze?

[AQuestioner]

This video didn't explain why the elbow sneeze releases more germs. So why?

[garffeels]

there’s a video in slow motion similar to this simply called “the sneeze”. there’s an interesting difference from a spray bottle and an actual sneeze because (squeamish warning) a real sneeze is more stringy where a spray bottle just sprays mist

My roomate just sneezed and there was my plate of food. Hence, is m here to see the power of sneeze

[KerryEriksson]

I am most worried when I on public transit when someone is coughing or sneezing in close quarters.

[Faolan_Grey]

Uh... A spray bottle isn't an actual sneeze?

[titustjmatthews]

Why not just do natural sneezing, instead of fake sneezing?
