Yes, a lot of people do do that
but we are talking about a Flu here, and that is spread by air into your respiratory organs (you better not catch it BG). That is why they are handing out masks in Mexico and banning big meetings etc

so, to prevent flu, the basics are "don't breathe" or wear a mask. Washing your hands is good too, as you can get some virus from an infected person, then touch your eyes, nose, mouth etc to spread it
How is flu spread?
A virus that infects the nose, throat, and lungs causes flu. Just like a cold virus, flu is usually spread from one person to the next when the infected person coughs or sneezes. The invincible flu virus is passed from the lungs, throat, or nose of one person through the air to the next unsuspecting person. In addition, when people touch a surface -- or person -- that's contaminated with flu germs and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth, they infect themselves with the flu virus.
believe me?
