It has always irritated me when feverish, coughing sick people go to work and moms of sick kids send them to school. That behavior could really be a matter of life and death this year.

All our behaviors matter. People often go to school and work with sore throats, coughs, running noses, etc., blow their noses all day. This could be dangerous to others, now. Remember our behaviors really can help contain this flu and save lives.

IF YOU ARE SICK OR FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING SICK -- STAY HOME OR GO HOME if you're out. NO -- don't stop by the grocery store on the way home. THIS MEANS YOU! Call a friend to leave a bag of groceries on your porch if you are truly out.

If you even feel the START of feeling sick ... Don't go to school. Dont' go to that meeting. Don't go to church. Don't go out with friends. Don't go out to eat. You might save a life -- yours and others.

Everyone should use their OWN PENS when signing credit card slips. Wear gloves when pumping gas. Wash hands after handling money or punching in your debit card pen #. (Wash hands all day long.)

College and high school students -- don't go on dates if your campus is having an epidemic. Talk on the phone. Don't throw parties or go to parties, bars, movies. Don't share drinks or share bites of food. Study at home. Wear masks at football games.

We all should start wearing masks and gloves in public.
