Work and the Swine Flu

Is your work doing anything to prevent the spread of the Swine flu?

I almost think my work has gone a little to the extreme. They have bought so much antibaterial hand gel, it's nuts. There is a huge bottle of it on top of the copier. Also they handed out bottles to every other desk. I just over heard someone on the phone talking about how they can't order more as everyone is out of stock. She said she has been calling all over, even called San Francisco and can't find any. Do we really need any more?

Oh and they put signs up everywhere on proper sneezing, ie covering your cough.

Re: Work and the Swine Flu

  • hopefully they don't add "face mask" to the dress code.
  • This whole Swine flu "epidemic" is so funny. I can't believe in this day and age people are so gullible to these scare tactics. Actually less people have died from the flu this year than last.

    We always have flu, people always die from it. Next year it will be a different flu by a different name but there will be something else that the newspapers will find to report.

    The other day I saw a woman in the grocery store with a mask on. It took everything I had not to laugh out loud.

    Wash your hands well. This is something you should always do. Other than that, eat well, take your vitamins, exercise, get a flu shot if you must.

     

  • When we sold out of purell I tried to recommend soap and water to people and they got really irritated. Soap and water people!!!!  It's better than purell.
  • It's being blown waaay out of proportion. There is so much media coverage over the death in Texas, but could you imagine if they covered everyone who died from regular flu?
  • I agree. This media hype is lame.

    I went to Vons last night and needed to get some anti bacterial for H and the shelves were empty. He can't always get to a sink with his job so he uses it a lot.

  • Oh the media hype is insane. The flu is the flu, regardless of what the name. People die every year from the flu- and people are freaking out unnecessarily. Do what you would do under normal flu season circumstances and you shoud live through this. I saw someone wearing a mask the other day and I almost laughed out loud.

    My husband and myself both work for the prison system- we have had 1 confirmed case in CA at the last update- and all visitation was suspended for the inmates to prevent the spread of the flu to the entire inmate population.

    Don't worry about tomorrow. After all, today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Take each day as it comes...one at a time. Midnight Baking Adventures Blog
  • DH says that they (Staples) has sold out of all of their gloves, gel, masks... everything! Not available online or in stores.

    STUPID!

    Like Amy said, wash your damn hands!

    I was at the hospital for an appointment today and there was only one person wearing a mask, shocked me.

  • I am so over the Swine Flu freak out. Like we don't seriously have bigger issues to worry about in this country. Thaknfully my work has been pretty realistic about the whole thing. I buy the supplies for the office, so I keep getting tons of emails all day from vendors selling masks and antibacterial. Like I'm gonna wast the little budget I get on that crap.
