I also follow your “paranoid” steps and rarely get sick. That said the smallest change that I made with the biggest results is that I never ever never use a pen that is not mine and is always in my control and I never lend it to anyone.

The flu is generally spread by coughing/airborne methods. That’s why people wear masks in public during pandemics. One doctor studying Spanish Flu caught it when an infected ferret sneezed in his face. Ferrets are good test subjects for human flu.

Note to readers: There is no such thing as “stomach flu”. A lot of people get confused by that. Those types of viruses ARE spread by contact. We had Norovirus go through our local Scout camp. Wicked!

VERY good advice.

And always wash before eating, regardless of where you are or when you last washed.
