public transit.
funny you say that; one of the other "flu" related articles was entirely *about* public transit (and suggestions re. avoiding getting infected) ... unfortunately the d-bags who designed the ABC/GO.com website decided the "printer-friendly" pages do not have a link back to the ORIGINAL story (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=5727571&page=1) :rolleyes: can't remember the title of the article, but it pointed out that the financial crisis has resulted in more flus and colds because more people are taking public transit (!)
...aha, found it:
Mass Transit: Subways and Buses a Breeding Ground to Catch Cold and Flu? (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=5826929&page=1) Tips for Avoiding the Cold and Flu on Buses and Trains
How about transit vehicles in general.
PROTIP:
If you are sick and have to ride transit STAY THE @%&# HOME.
