Nice explanation, Bruce. Thank you. (and I didn't sneeze on my keyboard whilst typing this.

I just got a sheet of tips for avoiding influenza that the nuthouse is handing out.

Sandwiched in between sleep well and eat healthy meals is the wonderful recommendation to "drink as much of warm liquids (coffe, etc) as you can. This can prevent proliferation by washing of viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive."

Whoo hoo!! I'm ordered to drink coffee!!

On our tip sheet: recommended to use handicap door opening buttons to avoid touching door handles. I do this on my way to the cafeteria, though I used to swear it was the height of laziness to not open your own door if you can.

However, on a tip sheet for saving energy, a high-profile initiative: do not use handicap door opening buttons if you are capable of opening the door yourself.

Well crap. I caught a cold anyway. But I really don't like washing my hands to go to lunch then opening doors on the way to the cafe and back. It's another trek to another floor to re-wash my hands after depositing my lunch at my desk. I use the hand sanitizer but it's just not the same.

Take an extra paper towel from the bathroom and use it to do all the door opening.

Someday humanity will be devastated by a virus that feeds exclusively on alcohol based hand-sanitizer gel.

Shawnee, the trick is to kick the handicap access buttons rather than touching them with your hands. Also works when your arms are full of screaming toddler, incidentally.

Shawnee123 · 11-07-2009, 04:50 PM

I use my hip, or the very bottom of my 20 oz Diet Coke on the way back.

TheMercenary · 11-09-2009, 11:47 AM

Same for buttons on elevators. I never touch them with my fingrz.

monster · 11-09-2009, 01:27 PM

I get my kids to do that ...their hands are nasty anyway

Spexxvet · 11-09-2009, 02:36 PM

Just get one of these

Or these

Shawnee123 · 11-09-2009, 02:38 PM

The one with the beak would be better for pokin' elevator buttons.

monster · 11-09-2009, 03:04 PM
