which would also explain the amplification

Why do people put a fist in front of their mouth when coughing? It does nothing!
Only if they pucker their lips into their fist will it work.
This lady, one of the SEOs I hate, has been coughing WAY too loud, so I was spying and seeing what she was doing wrong, and it's that she is coughing onto a fist that she holds about 6 inches in front of her mouth.
Like she's holding an imaginary microphone to cough into?
Exactly.

I tried it and I still feel a considerable amount of breath landing onto my fist.

It isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing. People should cough into their elbow pit like I do.

Yeah that's annoying...it's not like she's a little kid or something and doesn't know better.

If the cough is like that, what is the sneeze like? Hang on! Be kind! Old people are just weird. Luvgrma
