Yeah, but go further then that.
After shaking hands, after waking up, after going outside, put hand sanitizer on when you come back to your car.
Little things like that easily save peoples lives.
how does that help?
create too sterile an environment and you begin to lose immunity
http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you.htm (a little Q and A about it).
Washing hands stops the spread, and it keeps it from getting in your system.
From what I read, no one is immune till after getting it and taking drugs for it, then it's still not very likely your going to be immune.
Germs spread so easily from human to human.
Coughing, sneezing, shaking hands, laughing, blowing a raspberry, kissing, hugging, the possibilities are endless.
I, for one, would prefer it if people who can potentially get the virus (everyone) kept their germs to themselves.
The washing hands kills bacteria, and it may just kill the bacteria that could give you the flu.
Washing your hands excessively with soap or hand sanitizer doesn't help. The best way to deal with germs is apply water and friction to actually remove them. I mean there is more bacteria/viruses on your body than there is your own cells. Not only that, but bacteria and viruses evolve at a much faster rate than almost anything else. So what happens when you are killing off bacteria/viruses with hand sanitizer and soap? Natural selection takes place and works on becoming immune to what ever is being used in order to survive. Same goes for people who want to take antibiotics for every little issue.

at the moment though i think its just killing people with low immune systems. Like young children and people with asthma, people living in dirty enviroments etc. I think as long as your healthy your fine
Wrong,
It kills people who don't go "oh wow I have a fever of 103 I think I need to go to the doctor before the fever denatures all the DNA in my brain"
Many of the dead are between the ages of 25 and 50

A. This isn't the first time swine flu (or as i call it bacon flu) has been in the US before. In 1976 in fact. 200 people in NJ died from it.
B. Spanish influenza kill MILLIONS of people. One of the reasons it killed so many it that they didn't know alot about viruses back in 1918.
C. It takes a virus 2 hours to replicate/ reproduce in the human body.
D.As long as you keep washing your hands, coughing into your sleeve, Etc. will stop the virus from spreading.
A. Wrong, and I mean really wrong check your sources. There was only one death from the swine flu in 1976 I believe the guy's name was Lewis or something. Otherwise several were injured or hurt during inoculation process for something that was nothing, but a big scared.
B. Estimates are 50-100million were killed worldwide with 500,000-650,000 being in the U.S.
C. I don't know about this one, I've never heard of a time for a virus to reproduce. However, it doesn't make a difference since it uses a host it injects itself and makes 100's upon 100's of copies in that time.
D. Coughing in your sleeve is ridiculous! Viruses/Bacteria are transferred by touch almost every time. So why would you cough in something that is going to touch other people, tables, anything ect ect?
I want to die PROUD.
