Now WASH YOUR HANDS !
Really you're pretty unlikely to catch a viral infection from breathing in droplets in the air.
(A possible exception may be in planes, where air is pumped round and round the cabin !)
Normally we pick up the viruses on our hands and then transfer them to our mucous membranes by displacement behaviour (nose-picking, etc...)
And don't imagine that you don't pick your nose. I have seen you do it during the sermon.
Moral of the story ? WASH YOUR HANDS ! OFTEN !
After taking publc transport ? WASH YOUR HANDS !
Also here in France people will often say "on fait pas la bise, je suis enrhumé" and attempt to shake hands instead.
Bad move ! Either wave from a distance or put your hands in your pockets and do la bise.
You're NOT VERY LIKELY to pick up the virus from touching cheeks - but shake hands with them (and they've just blown their nose in a sodden paper hankie which they stuffed back up their sleeve etc...) and then pick your nose and the deed is done !
If you do shake hands with people who have colds or flu - pop into the toilet and WASH YOUR HANDS.
