Sneezing

In response to Franklin Zimring’s commentary, “Thank You for Not Sneezing” (Feb. 1), I would like to recommend that we adopt the Japanese custom of bowing a greeting rather than shaking our coughed-in, sneezed-in hands.

Other cultures see us as barbarians for wearing our street-dirty shoes into homes where our babies crawl around. If we can’t make these big changes, could we at least carry a handkerchief?
