If you hold a handkerchief over your face when you sneeze there will be fewer of your viruses and airborne bacteria breathed in and becoming new focuses of infections. Better still would be to release exhalations to fresh mountain air. Then you could spray snot as much as you like.
That's not what I asked.

It's your choice who you'd save and your rationalisation for what you choose to do.
