Dear Todd et al.
I keep Clorox wipes by the computers and hand sanitizers at various points
around the center. We have signs up encouraging people to use them. My student
workers also encourage clients to use them.
This really IS a concern. I work for the Concordia Language Villages in the
summer (Dean of the French Village) and this past summer, 2 different villages
ended up with outbreaks. Ours did not - but we DID keep hand sanitizers
available and enforced their use before meals.
If your center gets the computer turn around that mine does (one student gets up
and another sits down), then I would definitely go the double whammy route with
the Clorox wipes and hand sanitizers. We also keep kleenex (or toilet paper)
available so that students have a place to sneeze.
I wish everyone a healthy year,
Brenda Bertrand

Subject: H1N1 flu preparations
Hi, I'm wondering if you might be able to comment on what you're doing at your
schools to prepare for a potential H1N1 flu epidemic. I realize that we're all
in a somewhat special position as we're working with keyboards, microphones,
headsets and whatnot.
H1N1 is already in Nashville and even though there might be a lot of hype
surrounding it, I think that some measures should be taken. I just don't know
which ones.
Suggesions?
