The Office Outbreak

Here at Germ HQ, we are drooling over a new film coming out called the ‘Office Outbreak’. It contains all the ingredients for a chart topping blockbuster.

Starring an award winning line up of famous germs – E.Coli, Salmonella, MRSA and H5N1 Bird Flu plus a couple of surprise guests – we are already looking for the filthiest place in the office to watch this new epic.

The plot is a fairly simple one. Following a pair of hands for 24 hours, we watch the hands get dirtier and dirtier as they touch commonly shared surfaces picking up all of our favourite germs. The highlights for us were the bin at home, the escalator rail at the train station, the keyboard, printer and mouse in the office right through to mobile telephone on the way home from work. We squealed in delight as the hands passed these germs onto eyes, mouth, nose and ears realising that within 48 hours the unknowing office worker would be coming down with a nasty, infectious bug that would cause him to be in bed for at least 3 days.

 Our verdict is that this film is a real Oscar nomination especially as at no point do we see any computer cleaning products or hand sanitizers being used. We are fed up of films being spoilt with these annoying wipes or sprays killing off our favourite germ characters and not seeing an end result of fevers, vomiting or diarrhoea being shown.

 The ‘Office Outbreak’ is due out this winter and we couldn’t be more excited.
