It seems that everyday a new story emerges about a bad case of H1N1, one that just hangs around and transfers its germs from person-to-person. The fact that many are describing its symptoms in dire tones means we need to take dire steps. Vigilance remains the critical focus. Being an alarmist is a state of mind that has long left our vocabulary. The problem is here, the country has been put into a state of emergency, and we must know what to do.
So much has been written on the subject (
check out my blog posts), but it never ceases to amaze me how many new products have emerged as a first line of defense. Watching young children at a soccer match try to stay clean and not pass germs with each ball has become a new spectator sport. Watch and listen: The air is filled with germs as the coughers and sneezers are everywhere.
This is a contact sport that seems not to be in any way on the decline. With each young person immunized, three more are reported sick so they cannot be immunized. That is the crux of the problem. H1 arrived on schedule, but we are off schedule.
So today instead of the liquid sanitizer, I am all for the Sani-Hands. It wasn’t the cartoon characters that convinced me that kids would willingly grab a wipe, but the fact that they are non alcohol-based and have a moisturizing Aloe, Vitamin E, and Glycerin component. They kill off the germs and are not messy or sticky.
Enough of the hand-waving dance to get dry. This is a simple process: Open the package and use or buy the pull-up canister version. Either works.
We need all the help we can get.
