So, maybe this is a week or so late to be topical, but this has been bugging me all week.  The management company that runs the building I work in has pitched in to try an help combat the H1N1 (swine) flu strain that has been all the rage in the news.  They have posted the following signs in the restrooms:

Is this really effective?  Who has been coming into the restroom and not washing their hands and is now thinking they should start?  Were the traces of urine and fecal matter not enough of a reason to wash before?  If not, does H1N1 really elevate the need for this type of person?

At least they’re trying to help.  I guess.
