Seems to me that this procedure as described will theoretically prevent me from passing Hepatitis A from myself to others (although I don't have it). It'll do little to protect me from bird flu.
Having said that.. yeah. Please wash your hands after sneezing you dirty people. I'm disease free. Don't know about you.

Bird flu is not airborne. Bird flu is transmitted through contact with infected birds and any other contaminated surfaces. So far, it is thought to not be transmitted from human to human. The bird flu virus is also killed if for example, you have a contaminated piece of chicken and you cook it at a high temperature for a certain amount of time. If you touch it raw, you could become contaminated. Most of the bird flu cases up till now are people wh have direct contact with infected birds.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
