Eight Hospital Employees Fired For Refusing Flu Vaccines

182. CAN spread up to 6 feet, but unlikely. And again, you have to be sick (so you should stay home if

you are sick) to spread the flu this way.

And it says most experts think that flu viruses are spread mainly droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze, or talk - that statement does not directly say it is mostly spread airborne after the droplets are made.

Moreover, it says "less often, touching a surface or object" - it does not say "less often, touching a surface or object or PERSON".

In general, influenza viruses are spread in two ways:

1. Respiratory droplets from an infected person's coughs or sneezes (these droplets generally travel less than one metre); and
2. Touching contaminated surfaces (including hands) and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

I'll stand next to someone with the flu and talk to them. You can shake their hand after they wipe their nose or mouth. Go ahead and touch your eye or mouth or nose after that. I bet you get sick and I don't.

And again you disregard the most important fact here... people with a flu shot can get the flu! People who do not get a flu shot do not always get the flu! I would gladly (if it would make you happy) require the workers to wear a mask in addition to gloves :p but forcing a flu shot is stupid.
