I would sneeze away, toward the ground if I'm fast enough and its not like you have to take off the whole mask to avoid sneezing into it...
"Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"

This is what I was going to say.  If you do sneeze into your mask wash/discard it asap.

I think you should sneeze into your mask an into your elbow/sleeve. That is why you can wash your mask or throw it away when you get home.

Yes, some states are very serious about health guidelines.  Although they may seen outlandish I can understand.

Here you can almost get fined.  A scary thing to do out in public.

Most people will sneeze into their arm by moving the mask up, then there are those who sneeze inside of the mask (gross).

If you sneeze into your arm or shirt sleeve,then we may have an epidemic within dry cleaning businesses.

I think you should leave your mask on when you have to sneeze in public AND sneeze into your arm. You can always wash the mask or get yourself a new paper one and you might as well be doubly safe.

It depends...if I have another mask on me, I"ll just sneeze into the mask and get another one. If not, I would probably sneeze uncovered into elbow and then go wash hands or put on sanitizer (which I carry around)

I think the mask would be an extra protection so sneeze with mask on and cover with elbow or even with hands since the mask is on and you can put hand sanitizer after

I choose to remove my mask and sneeze into my elbow sleeve. I don't want that stuff getting into my mouth.
