According to a new study by the University of Arizona, when you go to work sick, your germs infect everyone and everything . . . FAST. If one person goes to work sick, the risk of their coworkers getting sick increases by between 40% and 90%. The researchers used artificial viruses to see how fast germs would spread in an office. And just one sick person managed to spread the virus to HALF the commonly-touched surfaces in the office, in just four hours. That included the coffee pot, desks, and elevator buttons. Which means if you go to work sick, you'll have spread it to half the office by lunch . . . and by the end of the day, 70% of the office surfaces will be contaminated by the virus. (KTLA 5)
STUDY: Defriending someone on Facebook means they won't be your real friend anymore
Think about THIS before you start going through your list of Facebook friends and defriending people en masse. The way you treat your VIRTUAL friendships has a huge impact on your ACTUAL friendships. In a new study by the University of Colorado at Denver, 40% of people say that if someone defriended them on Facebook, they would avoid that person and STOP being friends with them in real life. Women are more likely to say they'd defriend the person in real life than men. The top four reasons people give for defriending people are: Frequent and unimportant posts . . . polarizing posts, usually about politics or religion . . . inappropriate, sexist, or racist posts . . . and boring posts about their kids or food.
