<if animal to human transmission is possible, human to human transmission is possible. The concern is over the effectiveness of transmission, not whether it is possible > It's odd that people don't see how obvious that is. Also, I doubt that putting one's own fingers in one's face is as common an infection vector as inhaling airborne droplets from flu sufferers sneezes and coughs. Masks would cut down airborne particles. Inhaling 100 big droplets and masses of small/tiny ones would be a lot worse than inhaling a few tiny ones. Hair dryers would be good sterilizing units. Bugs on surfaces have no cooling mechanism, so a couple of seconds with a hair dryer would raise their temperature to frying levels. Mqurice
