If you’d like to catch the flu – I’ll tell you where to go for that...

If you haven’t gotten vaccinated for the flu yet – it’s not too late...

Flu season runs through May. If you’d rather tempt fate, here are a few of the most likely places to find the flu:

• Day care and preschools are the perfect playground for the flu virus - which loves to share.

• Doctor’s offices are high-risk zones. If the waiting room is small, crowded or not split into well and sick areas – consider waiting outside. Don’t forget to use hand sanitizer on your way out.

• The store has a nice selection of germs. People shop no matter what at this time of year. Skip using a cart if possible and use your own pen to avoid public pens and surfaces at the checkout.

If you wind up with the flu anyway – quarantine as much as possible at home to avoid spreading it. If a child is sick – designate a few easy to clean toys for them to use until they’re feeling better. TV remotes, phones, computer keyboards and mice used by the patient will be covered in cooties – so share accordingly.
