Swine Flu......

Betsi, I would be a little concerned about the airplane ride, but not so much that I wouldn't go. I would imagine if someone is coughing or sneezing the flight attendants will give them a mask.

This flu is transmitted by airborne droplets - so you have to breathe in the virus. Washing hands, sanitizing is always good, but you can't get this flu through your mouth. Now, if you get a droplet in your hand, and then put your hand near your nose and breathe - then you could inhale the virus.
