I think the awareness it's getting is good for hygiene, people should be doing this during regular flu seasons anyway such as not going to work or riding public transport sick, sneezing/coughing into their elbow etc.Regards to the impact its all media hype, flu kills tonnes more people.

Proper hand hygiene which ordinarily most people don't do and covering your mouth when sneezing/coughing goes a long way!

Believe it or not, people used to maintain pretty good hygiene for thousands of years before the invention of electric and gas furnaces.On a $2,000 rental, prorated rent is $66 a day.

So while there isn't anything "wrong" with gym membership, tithing, PG&E, and dental insurance being on there, I'd just be going through and deleting those items early in the process.If curious, I believe the thinking is that while someone in general isn't going to be worse off for paying off a credit card to qualify, we can't have people cancelling or downgrading their health insurance to qualify, or failing to uphold their religious obligations.

Where the hell do you all get health, dental, vision, etc... benefits from?

Not sure what kind of smell you’re talking but I’m assuming it’s probably from poor hygiene/care of the unit overtime.

Im a dental professional in the community also.

It is now vacant, but the previous tenants lived there for over a decade and had no concept of personal hygiene. 

The fall out so far is that I am losing one dental office though.
