You see, you’re supposed to sneeze into your sleeve, and not your hands. Todd probably won’t forget after this.

Todd’s colleague Jake Tapper at ABC turned the story into a blog post, complete with a video (it’s below). Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gets in on the ribbing as well.

“I mean what is that about? Jeez!” says Sebelius, half-joking. “Who’s got some Purell, give that to Mr. Todd right away. A little hand sanitizer. We’ll have Elmo give a special briefing.”

Ouch. Tapper rubbed it in: “Your humble correspondent noted that his 2-year-old did it the correct way this morning.”

Todd tweeted about the incident: “Just got scolded by Sec. Sebelius for sneezing into my hand and not sleeve. Consider this your PSA.”

Insert “liberal media cooties” joke here. Check it out:
