Good morning and happy Thursday! Get those raincoats and umbrellas out — we’ve got some rain in the forecast today.
Fun fact: You can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal on the planet, clocking in at a top speed of 70 m.p.h. (113 km/h), according to National Geographic.
A cheetah’s speed, however, is no match against the human sneeze.
In 2016, the American Lung Association revealed that our sneezes can travel up to 100 m.p.h. (161 km/h), creating upwards of 100,000 droplets in the process.
Trailing behind the sneeze and the cheetah is the cough, which can travel as fast as 50 m.p.h. (80 km/h), expelling nearly 3,000 droplets at the same time.
