Oh, I thought blow into your hands and them clean them off on a nearby colleague...
Just blow your nose in the T-shirt of a nearby colleague. Kenny, move over here... T.

Blow into your hands and wash them afterwards! Save some paper tissues ;)

Actually, I'm a little disappointed they are not telling me how to blow my nose.

Anyone else having the impression they're taking the influenza scare a bit too far?
Yes they are
Do they honestly think people are gonna wash their hands every hour or so?
Anyone else found the step by step instructions how to wash your hands an bit degrading (last time a was presented with something similar was in kindergarten) ? Also not sneezing on other people seems rather trivial to me.
Only one way out people: all hail Nurgle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_(Warhammer)#Nurgle )
Yeah yeah, I've been playing Warhammer too much lately, I admit :-)

Dear,
This is to reinforce your attention to the possibilities of preventing a widespread outbreak of the mexican flu. The most important measures are correct hand hygiene and prevention of spreading the virus by sneezing. You will find the relevant instructions summarized on the poster attached. I have also included a poster on hand hygiene from our occupational health service. Please act accordingly.
This information will remain available on the VIB intranet under the heading 'mexican flu'. When necessary new information will be added to this folder.
I would also like to point out to you that the UGent already has been been active in preparing for and communicating about the mexican flu. You can find relevant information at http://www.ugent.be/nl/univgent/welzijnmilieu/gezondheid/loc_index
Beste,
Met dit bericht willen we uw aandacht vestigen op de mogelijkheden om een weidverspreide epidemie van de mexicaanse griep te voorkomen. De belangrijkste preventiemaatregelen zijn een goede hand hygiène en voorkomen dat je het virus verspreidt dmv niezen. De belangrijkste instructies zijn samengevat op de bijgevoegde poster. Ik heb ook een poster over correcte hand hygiène toegevoegd afkomstig van onze arbeidsgeneeskundige dienst. Volg de instructies aub op.
Deze informatie blijft beschikbaar op het VIB intranet onder de hoofding 'mexican flu'. Indien nodig zal nieuwe informatie aan deze folder worden toegevoegd.
Ik wil er ook nog op wijzen dat de UGent ook al actief is geweest in de voorbereiding op en communicatie rond de mexicaanse griep. U kunt informatie hierover terugvinden op http://www.ugent.be/nl/univgent/welzijnmilieu/gezondheid/loc_index
