The University of Arizona is offering "Flu Care Kits" to all students living in the school's residence halls to help them while they are ill with flu symptoms.
Each kit includes a variety of items including Gatorade, water, chicken-noodle soup, chamomile tea, crackers and mac & cheese. There's also disposable thermometers and 8 oz. containers of hand sanitizer available.
Flu-preparedness is especially important this coming year with the expected resurgence of the H1N1 flu virus. The Flu Care Kits are specifically designed for residence hall students who are ill with flu-like symptoms and need to stay isolated in their residence hall room as recommended by public health authorities.
Students who are experiencing flu-like symptoms are encouraged to order their Flu Care Kit as soon as possible by calling 520-621-7038 any day of the week between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. to place their order.
Order forms for the kits include prices for items in the kits. The forms are available online.
Within three hours of order being placed, a Flu Care Kit will be delivered free of charge to any UA residence hall during regular hall hours. Kits also can be purchased and picked up anytime, day or night, including weekends at the UA Highland Market, located at Sixth Street and Highland.
All items in the Flu Care Kit are provided at reduced cost to UA students as part of joint partnership between the Arizona Student Unions, Campus Health and Residence Life.

Hand sanitizer alone, it seems, is not enough and could be dangerous, according to this post .
