Not saying it's going be perfect and you're never gonna get a respiratory infection or you'll never get the stomach flu if you will just wash your hands a lot. But the chances are very good that you can prevent a lot of these issues if you'll wash your hands.

THE C-D-C SAYS TO KEEP HANDS CLEAN- SCRUB FRONT, BACK AND UNDERNEATH NAILS FOR AT LEAST TWENTY SECONDS.
USING SOAP AND WATER IS THEIR RECOMMENDATION- BUT HAND SANITIZER IS AN EFFECTIVE BACK-UP.
