Why is it still socially required to say "bless you" when someone sneezes? This isn't ancient times when people thought that people are losing their soul when they sneeze. Nobody is dying, drop this stupid superstition.

@xianc78 blessing them that they'll get better and won't sneeze anymore

@beardalaxy Nobody does it when someone coughs, and coughing can indicate something more serious.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy I don’t recite religious incantations when anybody sneezes and so far there haven’t been any social repercussions.
