I don't see anything wrong with gesundheit. It means health. And really I feel like the German expression is just saying - be healthy dammit, and stop sneezing!

You can also say "Schönheit – gesund biste ja": "Beauty – you're already healthy after all"

That's what my German grandfather taught me to say and it's what I say.

It used to be something to say to yourself. A little "fuck I hope I'm not next" prayer.

I started saying "Gesundung" as a joke 10 years ago, and now I can't stop. It's not a real word, but if it were it would mean "Getting healthy". Seemed more appropriate to me at the time, and still kinda does.
