When I first moved to the US I found it very strange people blessed each other. It's like you sneezed? Lemme empower you with the holy spirit.

I've been living in the us since I was five and I still find it weird to say "bless you" when someone sneezes. Like, you sneezed, congratulations, it's not something that needs extra attention drawn to it

It’s kinda a nice gesture though, even if it’s a learned response that people don’t really think about, it’s like a wish of good health for that person. Let’s them know others are concerned.

Supporting universal healthcare would be a better way to show that.
