A Suit that Fights H1N1?

A Japanese company has produced a business suit that it claims will protect the wearer form contracting the H1N1 virus.
According to the company:
The suit is coated with the chemical titanium dioxide, which reacts to light to break down and kill the virus when it comes into contact with it.
Well, it’s nice that your clothing won’t contact the virus. But, if you know anything about how viruses are transmitted, this suit won’t solve your problem. The special fabric isn’t going to prevent your hands, face, neck, or head from coming into contact with H1N1.
Unless you wear it over your head. If you do, I suggest cutting out some eye holes first.
