All, I hope the information my son came up with will at least answer a few questions. It certainly did for me, although I still don't have THE answer, because there is no perfect answer. But this seems to be what I've learned; Handwashing and education is first priority. Purell, etc. with alcohol and moisturizer for hands is next in line for extra protection. Then I guess if someone is coughing or wiping their nose then playing the piano (yuck) a teacher might use the Lysol wipes. Sprays are out. Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide, not for keys. Does that sound like a good enough recommendation? NEXT we hose down the students...
