I had that flu myself. for about 3 days. But i used cold-ez. Actually, before she was let go due to downsizing, I had a co-worker who constantly wash her hands,disinfected them regularly, used a tissue to open doors. Didn't use her hands to push the elevator buttons, ANYTHING to avoid getting sick. She was sick about once a month. It could be because she had lost all immunity from over-protectiveness.
