This is nonsense. If it's as contagious as it's purported to be then washing your hands and staying home when you are sick are precisely the things that you should be doing. These simple measures have a real, measurable impact on public health. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_washing_with_soap

It's obviously way late to post this here, but I was right - hand washing does nothing for the flu: http://www.newsweek.com/id/215435
