I read that article and I say, so what. I mean, it isn't like this is really something new. It has always been the case. Maybe a lot of people haven't given it a lot of thought, but the common cold has been around for ever and has always spread the same way so it isn't like my level of danger has gone up or anything. Well, maybe I am saying that to make myself feel better.

What I do know, though, is that I am not about to start wiping down my desk with disinfectant every day! I would have to clear it of all the clutter first!!!

The link to the article is no longer current yet I find that I must add my thoughts regardless.

I see a desktop as actually being rather germ free myself. While there may be at most a half a dozen people that may sit at any one desk, yet in many cases it is only one or two. I worry much more about the doorknob or handrail that everyone touches that passes.
