It's flu/cold season here in Canada, and you would think that after the H1N1 scare/threat/epidemic last year people would have developed good habits regarding anything that can transmit these things. Nope. We still have people who cough with their tongues extended out of their mouths instead of covering their cough with their elbow or shirt or something!
It amazes me that university students have to be educated about being clean and staying healthy in that way, or rather not being nasty in my opinion and sharing germs. It surprised me when we were showed how to wash our hands: that you wash the backs of your hands and inbetween your fingers as well. Granted I did not know it should be for 20 seconds but I did know long enough to build a solid lather.
All of this stuff just makes me wonder what do parents teach their children? If you don't show them how to wash their hands properly, or teach them how to sneeze and cough appropriately, what do you teach them?
I like my Caribbean upbringing. If I have children, they're getting it the same way. Now that self is for another post. Coming soon...
