So if it's not flu season, there will be people licking my keyboard?

Tips for avoiding the flu, from MSN.com, link stolen from [livejournal.com profile] ksracxe.

No-nonsense tips

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.

I know! The funny thing is that the entire rest of the article was completely serious. Makes me wonder if someone was just trying to see if he could get it past the editor and he did!
