the saying actually originated in medieval england when even a common cold could lead to death. a sneeze, often being the first bad sign of a cold or flu was given a 'god bless you' in the hopes that death was not to follow.

It is an old tradition that came about because it was thought that when you sneezed it caused your soul to be put out of your body and satin could get it. So, people said God Bless you to send back your soul. Peace

I wasn't aware that anyone said "Good bless you." I thought it was "God Bless You" and it stems from the old superstition that if one sneezed, their soul was in danger of being snatched from the devil. Saying "god bless you" was a way of protecting the person's soul.

Years ago people believed when a person sneezed their spirit could escape. An onlooker would say "Bless You" to help the sneezers spirit to stay in their body.
