This could be a record!   You know there’s a flu epidemic when I get 15 back-to-back radio interviews across the nation about cleaning office surfaces during flu season.

A recent study showed that when employees come to work sick, more than half the surfaces in the office will be contaminated by lunch time.  Yuk.  Simple interventions go a long way toward protecting yourself from those germ-infested surfaces.  Wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water.  This is the best prevention and the easiest.  Keep hand-sanitizer on your desk and use it when you shake hands with guests or employees.  And be sure to strategically place those sanitizing wipes around the office for people to wipe down surfaces.  I like the Clorox Wipes or Lysol Spray.
