Best Answer

The flu is spread when infected people speak, sneeze or cough sending infected droplets through the air and we inhale that air.

The virus can also be picked up by our hands after touching doorknobs, counters, handrails, escalator rails, pencils or any object.

An infected person can sneeze into their hands thinking they are containing their infected droplets, then open a door depositing the germs on the door knob. The next person opens the door and gets the germs on his own hands then touches his nose or mouth completing the transmission.
