One of the main tricks I use is to wash my hand about 8 times a day with soap and water, this prevents colds, the flu, etc.

When you get this virus on your hands and touch your mouth for any reason, it's all over, included is a open cut.

As you said, be careful out there.

Once upon a time not too many years ago, had the John Vu Flu (short version, named after a semi-famous So-Cal design engineer who came to work sick and infected many) – once “it” started coming out one end and you thought there couldn’t possibly be anything left, "it" would start up at the other end and "it" kept going back and forth this way for about 5 days straight and after all was said and done left you weighing about 25 pounds lighter, no Jenny Craig subscription needed... In retrospect, "it" was so bad there might have actually been a point where "it" was coming out of both orifices simultaneously, that’s when you know "it's" bad…

Sincerely hope there is not a 2013 redux, cause just outta respect of how awful "it" was would have to call it John Vu Flu II, oh well at least it rimes eh???

It was offered as sort of a PSA in collaboration with PS's warning and Lester's subsequent advice to wash hands in an OCD manner, cuz left the really gory stuff out!!! Do you know they actually make a grape-flavored Pepto Bismol and when it comes out of - uh nevermind !
