Bird Flu Preparedness Week! Item 3: Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues
Ladies and Gentlemen, winter is fast approaching. While this means Hockey Season and more Sean Avery suspensions, it also serves as a stark reminder that another Flu season is upon us. We all need to take certain precautions against the ever-present threat of a Bird Flu pandemic. Therefore, as a public service, Jeremy Is In The Office, in association with Miracle Posting, Inc is proud to present this vitally important Theme Week chock full of helpful tips to prepare for and slow the inevitable spread of this deadly disease.
While there will ultimately be nothing you can do to combat the spread of Avian Flu, you may be able to slow it down ever so slightly. One of the key ways to do this is to contain the virus to yourself. Once you're infected, make sure to cover your face when coughing or sneezing. The government's Flu website recommends covering with a tissue or handkerchief, but the rest of the world has adopted what is known as the "Dracula Sneeze" in which you bury your face in the crook of your arm. This is a total misnomer, as you don't normally see Dracula in this pose, rather the Replacement for the late Bela Lugosi in "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
Either way, make sure you keep the virus to yourself, and give the rest of us a somewhat sporting chance against Bird Flu.
