From this article on MSN, the tips at the end are as follows:
Finally, a few ideas you can use and share in the workplace to help stop the spread of flu germs:
- If you know you’re sick with the flu, stay home.
- Get a flu shot, which not only protects you but helps prevent contagion.
- Within a day of becoming ill, ask your doctor about antiviral medications, which can shorten the episode and contain the virus.
- Be especially cautious between late December and early March, the peak of flu season.
- Sneeze or cough into your elbow, not into your hands.
- Clean phones, doorknobs and desktops with alcohol swabs.
- Throw used tissues away!
- Wash your hands and face often with hot, soapy water.
- During flu season, never let anyone lick your keyboard.
Seriously. Is that a joke that slipped through??
I saw that last one, too, the other day. I’m glad I wasn’t seeing things.
And yea on the heartbeat.
Well if I don’t let people lick my keyboard how on EARTH is it going to get clean? Am I supposed to have a clean keyboard only during non-flu season? The NERVE!!!
