Last summer there was a preventative in place. Anyone that got backstage for the meet and greet had to use a hand sanitzer prior to having their moment with Gord. Don't know if this practice was the brainstorm of the temp manager (Greg) he had at the time while Leslie was at previous commitment or if it was Gord's idea, but it seem to be prudent to me.
Can anyone who's been at a concert lately share if this is still the practice? If not, it should be.
And of course this does not cover the multitude of people he comes into contact with that aren't part of the meet and greet crowd.
Good question.
On a related topic: Yesterday my family was at a Special Olympic State Games held in our state with about 200 people, touching table tops, giving high fives and sharing bowling balls. My husband and I both commented on how this would be a pandemic in the making if the flu/H1N1 was prevalent in our area. Yikes.
