Love your neighbor—that person next to you on the airplane, bus, classroom, office, or in line at the store check-out—and don’t cough on them. Sharing love is NOT sharing germs. This is the time of year that people seem to catch more colds. Is it due to the weather, the fact that we spend more time indoors, or that people just are out and about around in large groups? Follow the CDC guidelines. http://www.cdc.gov/getsmart/antibiotic-use/URI/colds.html

o   Practice good hand hygiene (wash them before and after meals, after coughing, sneezing, or using the bathroom, helping others who are sick or infants, handling pets, touching garbage).

o   Avoid close contact with people who have colds or other respiratory infections.  

Love your neighbor as yourself—treat them the way you want to be treated.
