Do we actually know how effective this is, or is it just something that everyone says you should do because it is common knowledge"?

"Common knowledge" has been proven wrong many times in the past - for example, we don't try to cure diseases by blood letting any more. It takes carefully designed experiments to determine the truth of these things.

Note that there are zillions of viruses in a cough, and it doesn't take too many to cause a disease. Obviously, covering your mouth while coughing only stops a fraction of these viruses from becoming airborne.

Does anyone know of a study considering the efficacy of covering your mouth to prevent coughs from becoming a disease transmission vector?

This person I know said that both her and her sister were conceived with a sperm donation from two different medical doctors to her lesbian mom, and that back in the 60's and 70's it was common practice for doctors to give their own sperm to patients for the purpose of conceiving a child. I have a hard time believing that. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

I almost finished medical school, but when i was suddenly diagnosed with diabetes and discovered that i have chronic hypertension. i discovered that i can't handle the stress, my blood pressure will shoot up even with medications, when i was on duty and on call, there are times that i don't eat or can't eat right away due to the volume of patients coming in, patients come first, that's why. I would have migraines and feel that i'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. lack of sleep would also aggravate my diabetes and hypertension. I feel that i was killing myself, little by little, what's worse, is that i began questioning if all of these were worth it, since it will put my health in serious jeopardy. I was not feeling well for most of the time, so I suddenly lost interest with what i was doing, the drive and determination were lost. So that's when i decided to quit and have a change of lifestyle. I want to live longer, so i put my health first

I've been looking for that answer in several articles on the net, but none of them seems to tell why it was named as such.
i think i remember seeing somewhere that it was because several penicillin tryouts where made at a given moment, and a few ones, naming G, V, F or X worked (A, B, C, etc didnt work i think)...but, i dont know if thats true. is there a website i can find to look for an answer?? thanks in advance
