(instructional / educational videos also provided) According to the CDC, . . . “people are not washing their hands often or well enough and may transmit up to 80% of all infections by their hands. From doorknobs to animals to food, harmful germs can live on almost everything. Handwashing may be your single most important act to help stop the spread of infection and stay healthy.”
The swine flu notwithstanding, America hasn’t even hit the peak season for the flu yet, which is why the CDC has provided some valuable public service “flu prevention” tips in the form of .pdf files that we can download, print, and post in public places. The posters would be useful in any public eating area, near any water cooler or office coffee pot, or inside any school or business restroom. Also included, three "child-friendly" video clips on flu prevention tips.
