I was my hand at least once a month. The other hand I leave dirty.

Honest question, why do you need to dry your hands with a towel after washing them? Seems like a waste, eh?

Okay, here we go.
Towels are best, use paper in the public. Blow dryers are bad, worse than drip drying.

Huh, never knew that about dryers
Anyway, I can’t wait to get the corona. Our office has a contagion plan, where affected employees get to work from home, on a company laptop (that they won’t want back cause germs). Wake, bake and work? Sign me up.

How do you get out of the bathroom without touching the door?
Some bathrooms only have blow dryers, so you get COVID-19 and die.

I should point out that having smoked for 23 years is what gave me my weakened lungs.
If I get a common cold I may need antibiotics after because of secondary infection bacteria overgrowing my lungs.
Its my sounvenir from smoking tobacco.
DONT SMOKE TOBACCO.

I read somewhere (cant remember where) that dish-washing agent is not the best for washing your hands. Its mostly a de-greaser and not really an hygienic cleanser

Asante said: Two weeks ago I got the common cold. It turned to bronchitis. Pre med it was like inhaling ground glass. Now I'm on an atropine inhaler which helps a LOT in reducing cough and discomfort, and I just finished prednisolone and doxycycline.
But!
I am sure that my smoking has brought this bronchitis on, theres nothing coincidental about a lung inflammation when you spend your day rolling and puffing.
I took some Methoxetamine just now to dissociate away from the misery of the bronchitis, and instead the drug made me collide head-on with ther fact that my smoking was the culprit and that the time to quit had come.
Some time ago I asked my Higher Self to tell me when the time was right to quit smoking. I believe in "the right moment" as being important.
Just now, high on 30mg MXE, in bed, in darkness, my Higher Self said the time to quit smoking had come, and it asked me if I wanted to come along with that. I committed to it.
After full commitment I threw my tobacco in the toilet, pissed on it and flushed it out of my life, and my ashtray, the old standby, went in the trashcan.
Itys not going to be easy but I'm through with it dammit, tobacco has to go. I've been struggling with the habit for 27 years, so enough is enough.
NO MORE.

I already washed my hands like 50 times a day
amazing how nurses manage to avoid catching dangerous infections all the time despite being constantly exposed to them
it does help that they are typically aware that people have infections though
but seriously if you sanitize your hands prior to touching any of your orifices after any contact with some other object then it's virtually impossible for you to catch contact/droplet illnesses. unless someone like sneezes or coughs violently very close to you without covering it
this is not classified as an airborne illness. right now they're saying droplet.

I work in a chemistry lab and have a general disdain for the various types of latex/nitrile/rubber gloves because they give people a false sense of safety with a lot of the chemicals and excipients I work with. Thus I probably wash my hands about 50 times over an average day. Moisturizer is key, washing that often will destroy your hands, actually dries the skin out and causes it to crack.

I’m a germaphobe, I wash my hands like 5000 times a day. I’ll wash my hands just to wash my hands. I don’t let people touch my pens, I sanitize my workspace as soon as I get to work and several times throughout the day. I use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the bathroom door. I work with a guy that takes a shit and walks right out the bathroom, grabs the microwave and fridge door, eat someone elses lunch, pick his nose, grab a random pen. Stand over me and blow his nose.....I might end up snapping one day.

I agree. We should be more like China, where almost No one washed their hands. You can't get a virus so amazing people think it's a biological weapon without putting some real effort in having a disgusting culture. Absolutely No Racism!
Considering hand washing is Western stupidity to them, I think they know what they are doing.

No. I work in a hospital, and before that I worked in a kitchen. I don’t need some new illness to inspire me to be smart about hygiene; that’s been ingrained in me for years.

You mean 'nothing like a stupid comment'
Chinese people in mainland China don't generally wash their hands. They also don't wear deodorant. They also have a cultural pathology about fresh food. That's why they have the markets. Their culture also is based on dishonesty, such as the concept of 'face'.
Maybe you shouldn't take your culture for granted. China has serious problems culturally and administrativly. The old Chinese traditions were destroyed in the 60's and only still exist in Taiwan in any meaningful way.
Despite this, Traditional Chinese medicine survived and is still practiced by many. Many people see germs as 'western', and Chi as what effects health. Chi and TCM are why they eat dog more in the winter. It 'week's the chi.
Mainland China is a shell of what it was and could be, well the people think they are much more prominent than they are.
They steal intellectual property and are terrible to work with, and China's time and prominence have been overstated for decades. Our 'trade war', wasn't. It's a sick nation, and this virus is a symptom.

I feel like a good percentage of members here probably washed their hand more often than most well before this panic started. Due to my work and this, and other, hobbies I wash my hand on a regular basis. At the same time, I have eaten a lot of dirt in my time and certainly don't shelter myself from exposure.

I certainly am. Honestly, I never washed my hands a whole lot. Quick rinse with soap after the restroom and before eating but not much more. I take extra effort now.
I hope I represent the masses. I think there is a middle ground between complacency and panic. Wash your hands. Practice "social distancing." Have a few weeks of supplies. At this point, I don't think we need a stronghold bunker, but a reasonable, coordinated public approach will severely diminish the severity of this outbreak.

I wonder how long people will pay attention to hygiene after this is all over? I fully expect the new hand washers will stop at some point, but maybe/hopefully not.
