The virus is not *air-borne* right. I don't get the purpose of masks. May be that would prevent one from touching his/her mouth/nose. And "TamiFlu" is not an approved vaccine or is it?
Nerd,

We were (about 2-3 months back) advised to sneeze/cough on our shirt sleeves or on a tissue paper and dispose it, so that nobody touches it (or your shirt obviously). And we were asked to wash our hands quite often, like once in two hours. Also after you shake hands with someone you are not supposed to touch your mouth/nose before washing your hands. And generally, don't touch your nose or mouth. Touching-la dhaan spread aagudhu-nu ninaikkirEn.
