SEMA - Is there a problem in traveling with all the sickness that is going on right now?

While working on preparations for attending the SEMA show in Las Vegas next week I was listening to the radio news stories. There is story after story about the Flu and the H1N1 virus going on all over the country. The PowerandPlay crew will be trapped on jets and in airports for almost 10 hours just to get to the event. Is there a problem in traveling with all the sickness that is going on now? It seems that when ever I travel - I get the seat next to the weird person on the jet or the person that wants to read a book on the red eye flight. Does this also put us at risk of catching the flu just to go to the SEMA show?
This made me start thinking – What is everyone doing if anything to try and keep from catching anything while trapped on a jet or in airports? Is there anything that you can really do?
I am excited about seeing all the hot new products presented by the manufactures. Awesome cars and trucks that have cutting edge appeal and make for a lot of great pictures. Let’s see how the manufactures are going to do business in 2010. Are they going to keeping laying low and waiting for the market to come back or who will be the ones that are charging ahead and “Going Out for Business” not “Going out of Business”?
Good friends, great show and the best food makes the trip a must for anyone in the industry.
