(34,126 posts)(I also use it for all doors in the winter time when I have sleeves).
Since then if I have had the flu, it has only been once, and I get a mild cold about every other year. It really makes a difference.
I started the practice when I had bosses who used to come to work pretending they were not sick - and i had surgery scheduled, so I couldn't afford to catch their not-sickness. It worked, and now it's a habit.

"For instance, my family just flew from Michigan to Atlanta, and asked me, what do we do on the plane? Should we wear a mask? My answer -- do what you should do every time: Don't touch surfaces and then touch your face. It doesn't have to be in a fearful or compulsive way -- just be aware and mindful of protecting yourself.
A mask that you have never used before and wear all day long, that gets damp, is not going to help you. You may touch it a lot because it is uncomfortable, lowering its effectiveness.
Quite simply, good hand hygiene and face hygiene will protect you from a lot of illnesses, including Covid-19. "
