I just found this video on You Tube that really shows how germs and viruses spread. It is so cool. It's meant for kids but I even learned a lot!

1. Washing Hands. People often ask how often you should wash your hands in order to get rid of germs. The answer is: "Tell your children to wash their hands for as long as it takes them to sing their ABCs, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or the "Happy Birthday" song." (according to the MayoClinic, December 5, 2005). Use an antibacterial soap with warm water for best results.
2. No Sharing. Restrain from letting a friend share a drink with you. Besides passing along many simple illnesses, sharing can lead to a very serious disease called meningitis, which is a bacterial or viral infection that causes headache, high fever, vomiting, and a stiff neck. Meningitis can be fatal in some cases. Also abstain from sharing personal hygiene products such as your hairbrush.
3. Cover Up. Sneezing is a leading way to pass germs onto others. It is recommended that if you sneeze, to do so in a tissue or other disposable substance. When there are no tissues available, you should turn and sneeze into the crook of your arm (see example below). Never sneeze into your hands because you spread and contract germs in large numbers by doing this.
4. Keep Immunizations Up-to-Date. Make sure your child is properly immunized. It is also a good idea to ask your family doctor or pediatrician about obtaining a flu vaccination for your child. This product is now available as a child-friendly nasal spray. Cool!
5. Stay Home. If you think that your child may be sick, it is best to opt to keep him home from school. Of course, the older your child is, and the more he understands about how to minimize passing germs to others, it may be okay to send him along.
Get some CleenCell wipes for your phones. I use those things religiously as does everyone i know who uses my iphone and puts there fingers all over the dam thing.u can order them online
