Catt I wish I could do those things but with small kids anything other than hand washing and vitamins are impossible. Especially with my 2 year old who has to touch EVERYTHING and has a finger sucking habit!

I wouldnt worry about the finger sucking too much. Flu is spread via droplets of water in the air. It is possible to get it through touch...but it is way more likely you will catch it breathing..than touching something. if you suspect someone has the flu...a minimum of three feet should be between you ( i know..cant do that if you're taking care of someone...) And medical masks are inexpensive ..and can be quite effective if you suspect someone is ill.

I was watching 60 minutes the other night and they had a segment on H1N1. They're finding the virus can be transmitted at 10 feet.

Holy crap. We need to just face the fact we are all doomed to get it at some point soon.

Yeah, the most likely scenario is that my 4 year old in preschool will get it and haul it home. I was at the pumpkin patch with his little class and not one kid covered their mouth while coughing or sneezing and a bunch of the little buggers were looking all snotty nosed too. If my son gets it my daughter will too, they are as thick as thieves.

I'm not one to freak out over illnesses. But after knowing some of the people here at work with it and seeing how sick they are (or their children) and then seeing this (which ..is it hype? who knows?) I am more alarmed.

Kiddos' mom is recovered from it now. She's getting girl vaccinated tomorrow. Luckily neither kid is sick, so they must not have been exposed when their mom had it. :whew:
