They need to be washed off. Hand sanitizer doesn't kill flu germs because the flu is spread by a virus, which has a hard outer shell that is not easily penetrated. They need to be washed off.

I do have a few other suggestions though. Tylenol, Motrin, Robitussin (or other expectorant), pedialyte for the kids and gatorade or something for the adults. I bought two bottles of each at Sams Club of the Tylenol and Motrin. I also went to Walmart and they were out of hand santizer so I go the Wet Ones in the pop up container. Hope this helps and have a blessed day! Yes it is a great idea to add masks as well has hand santizer to your kits we have had those plus rubber gloves in our for years.

This is on my mind right now, as I am a nurse practitioner in a student health clinic for a college. Just wanted to add my two cents about the masks though. While masks do act as a great barrier to germs, the best method of prevention of infection is washing your hands, coughing/sneezing in your elbow, avoiding touch your face (eyes, ears, nose, mouth), and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The masks are only good so long as they are dry. Once you have breathed into it for so long, its effectiveness goes way down. I am not saying don't wear one, just keep doing everything else too!

Probably the best info out there. When I went to get mowing masks for working the yard this weekend, all the rows of N95 masks were gone at both Lowes and Home Depot. Definitely people are stocking up! Great post and super video! Probably the best info out there.
