According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, American adults spend more of their waking hours between Monday and Friday at the workplace than anywhere else -— including home, according to the 2009 American Time User Survey (U.S. Department of Labor, June 22, 2010). About one-third of all workers also devote five hours, on average, at the workplace on weekends, as well. So it stands to reason that offices, factories, clinics, and other work facilities have become places to exchange not only goods and services, but also viruses, bacteria, and other sources of infection.
