I have no kids in school, so am somewhat protected.

But you know what really scares me?

Money.

Think about it. A single dollar bill could infect hundreds of people before they even showed any symptoms...

I kinda sadly chuckle at the supermarket when I see the people getting all excited and wiping down the shopping carts with the safety wipes, then go into the store and USE THE CASH MACHINE, and SWAP MONEY BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CASHIER...

Who’s kidding who here, folks?

But I AM seeing more cashiers wearing latex gloves. Can’t say I blame them!

A persons best defense for the more common stuff like colds and viruses etc is simply try to keep their own immune system built up. Vitamin D3 helps, eat meat, fruit, some exercise, and try to keep mental stress low. Stress can play a major roll in illnesses more than most realize.

As for hand sanitizer? Really unless it's hospital grade it's not that good. Neither are antibacterial soaps for the home. If I'm doing something that requires my hands be cleaned and free of a potentially harmful germ or bacteria {sterile for medical treatment} I rinse my hands with 91% alcohol. It will kill about anything. LOL
