True or false the flu is spread only by direct contact such as kissing a person with the flu?
FALSE because contact can also occur indirectly. A common form of indirect contact is inhaling the tiny drops of moisture that an infected person sneezes or coughs into the air. These drops of moisture may contain disease-causing organisms such as flue or cold viruses.
