In thinking of ways to lower the chances of spreading the SARS, many suggested one should wear a mask, wash hands, cloths and beddings often, and use separate utensils for dishing out food at the dining table.
I thought of a couple of other things…
1/ Do not scrape food off the spoon or spatula with the rice bowl, as traditionally we all touch our months with our rice bowls when we eat rice. This could contaminate the spoon or spatula and in turn the next bowl.
2/ When we pour drinks, do not touch the bottle with the edge of the glass or cup, as this could contaminate the bottle and in turn the next glass.
These steps are necessary even at home, as we can’t be sure if we have been infected at work.

Don’t forget to wash your cell phones either.
