Sneezing with a mask on...

I'm in the hospital waiting for an x-ray, and one of the porters has just taken his mask off to sneeze then put it back on - just seemed odd.

The mask is supposed to catch his sneezes, he's not supposed to take it off!

Makes a mockery of the mask! Did he use his elbow or a tissue to catch the sneeze?

Doctors don't even wear masks where I work, let alone take one off to sneeze

Right into his hand, no sanitizer after!
