What you don't see can hurt you.
Everyone seems to think they're invulnerable, long
after the defiance of childhood and lack of experience
has gone away.
People wonder what real good washing hands does?
Well, if we do it regularly, with plenty of soap, and
spend a reasonable amount of time on it....
if we are careful to use a paper towel to open
and close bathroom doors and turn on faucets,
and if we use hot water, it can be a very effective
way of keeping the flu virus at bay.
The current flu virus can last outside the human
boy up to 8 hours. EIGHT hours. That means if you
walk into an empty office, don't be falsely lulled;
the germs of all the nasty, unconcerned people from
the prior 8 hours of activity are accumulated on
every surface of a room, waiting to attack.
That's a long time.
The HIV virus only lasts outside the body about an hour,
and that's if it's in a bodily fluid that was released. But the
flu? 8 hours on its own. Tough guy.
Don't give it one single opening or excuse to
get hold of you. It only takes one exposure to get sick.
