Yes, there are some positives from the Swine Flu mania out there.
According to a Harvard Public Health survery released today, 67 percent report of Americans say they or someone in their household has washed their hands or used hand sanitizer more frequently in response to the flu.
Washing hands: always a good thing.
Another positive finding: 55 percent says made preparations to stay at home if they or a family member is sick.
On the other hand, some respondents seem to be overreating just a tad: 27 percent are avoiding air travel (including Joe Biden, apparently) and 14 percent say they have stopped shaking hands with people.
