Our bank handing out to the customers little tubes of hand sanitizers in spray bottles. They are long and skinny but do the trick.  I guess were getting the message out.  Sanitize please.  Keep our customers and employees safe.   I thought it was a great idea.  And its free.  Everyone likes something free.   But god knows we dont want the flu and thats free.
SO USE THOSE HAND SANITIZERS PLEASE.....

My company has put out kleenex all around the office so that if we need to cough or sneeze we can do it in a tissue instead of our hands, or worse into the office.  We also have facemasks at our cubes and antibacterial spray.  Whenever someone coughs or sneezes someone yells "spray yourself" lol

No, I haven't used it yet. It is comforting knowing that it is there.  I have used hand sanitizer and spray regularly.  There have been several cases of H1N1 in our area and luckily we haven't been affected.

I heard that my boss went to a h1n1 seminar.  Has anyone else heard of big business going to such seminars?

She is pretty knowledgable on h1n1 .  But did not tell us what happen at the seminar.

There have been information sessions held both at local schools and community organizations regarding H1N1.  At the session held at my university, we discussed the facts and fictions of H1N1, ways to protect ourselves from the virus, and what to do in the event we are sick.  I think having seminars for businesses specifically is a great idea.

I work for what can be considered a 'mom&pop' type business. Family owned, one store only. We deal with the public every day, both local shoppeds and out of town (out of country actually).  I looked at the store with a critical eye this morning. Know what I saw? I saw squat all in terms of preps. One very generic first aid kit that's seen better days. a few boxes of power bars and some assorted 'energy' drinks. Five gallons of water in the cooler. My bottle of hand sanitizing lotion on the desk. Pretty sad, eh?

New type of hand sanitizer dispensor being used at our local police dept.

You swipe your hand under it without touching it and it gives you a nice foam to clean your hands.
Also I heard churchs are installing holy water dispensors you never touch.  All done with a electric eye .
So they said they was concerned with contamination from people touching these dispensors that they made them touchless.

My biggest noticable change in the work place is the number of people who are out sick with colds.  Or taking care of sick ones with colds so they cant come to work.  Its starting to take a tolll on the ones who are still working..Stress, tired, just not in the mood for the holidays.
