Except that H1N1 isn't airborne.

Then why do people need to cover their mouth when they sneeze or cough? And what are all the surgical masks for?

I don't know, but my doctor put me on this drug called Placebo. Ever since, I've felt awesome!

It's carried by droplets, which spew all over when you sneeze.
