    COVID or not, wash your damn hands. It is disgusting to see a person deposit a shit and walk right past the soap and water.

      Was sitting in a stall and heard a guy leave the urinal and loudly bitch to nobody in particular that he didn’t touch his dick while pissing so he wasn’t going to wash his hands, because, “fuck that shit.” Why are people like this?

        They feel powerless in their lives so they exert it aggressively and loudly over the menial things that they actually have control over. Another way to put it, they are not smart.

      People won’t.

      COVID’s most important lesson is that it’s the fucking Wild West and we’re all stuck doing our best to protect ourselves.

      Wash your hands all you want. If you use the door handle afterwards, your hands will be unwashed once again. Because people who don’t wash their hands will have used it.

        Whoa whoa whoa. So you’re saying if everyone washes their hands, I use my shirt to open the door and I piss hands free I don’t have to wash my hands? That’s dope.

    I like how Covid ending was just everyone collectively accepting that we can’t save ourselves from ourselves, so fuck it let’s get ice cream.

        Yes, we have a vaccine. No the pandemic is not over yet. Bonus points: we still have an unhealthy large number of people refusing to get vaccinated.

          I know this is semantics, but because most people are vaccinated and the virus isn’t spreading uncontrolled, it’s not an epidemic/pandemic any longer; it’s just endemic. You should still wash your hands and wear a mask if you’re sick or around sick people, but covid isn’t a daily problem for most people now.

            Yea, just as many people (which is too many) saying “we’re still in a pandemic!!!_+$+$+#” as the deniers and freaking out like if we just put in a little more effort COVID would just go poof and disappear.

            Like no, sorry to say but the pandemic is over. COVID is now endemic and we’re stuck with it forever, like the flu.

    This is my kids. Then they get offended when I tell them to go back and wash their hands. Ok, let me see your hands then. They go back to wash their hands, grumbling under their breath.

    Ever see the Mythbusters episode where they lined up toothbrushes to see how far fecal matter traveled. Right near the toilet was the worst but nowhere was safe.

    So yes washing hands helps but it’s not the be all, end all solution.

    I’m sure someone will disagree with me but I think protecting ourselves completely from infection isn’t a good idea. Particularly after reading Immune (good but not the best resource) I think washing our hands all the time or using antibacterial soap is not a good choice for our individual health and immune system strength.

      I’ll agree on not using antibacterial soap all the time. There’s plenty of soaps that aren’t antibacterial but still help remove contaminants. People should definitely at least wash their hands with hot water. It’s one thing to harbor trace amounts of bacteria, but no one should be spreading urine or fecal matter to every surface they touch.

      One of the first things they taught in my micro bio class is that no single bacteria is bad. What is bad is when they are where they shouldn’t be. This makes the point of hand washing more or less to remove bacteria that may be problematic being on your hands where you could spread them to vulnerable areas.

      Regular hand soap is perfectly fine. It may dry your hands out from overuse, but as soon as you touch any part of your body (like your arms or face) your hands would be inoculated with your body’s natural flora that resides on your skin.

      Antibacterial soap would be the larger issue, as a lot of them have what is called a persistent effect. This persistent effect means that the antibacterial agent leaves traces of itself behind and will kill any bacteria that is susceptible to it. While good if used responsibly for people like surgeons to eliminate/reduce any stray bacteria during a procedure, this can lead to the same sort of scenario we have with antibiotics where some bacteria may develop a resistance to it, which could also include pathogenic varients/strains.

      Washing hands a few times a day when using the restroom is infrequent enough to not be considered washing them all the time. There are hours to get some bacteria, but washing a few times a day reduces the volume so your body doesn’t need to fight as hard.

          Sometimes if I’m active enough, but the use of few was to indicate that it wasn’t constantly all day. Like every couple of hours and not every 30.minutes or something when people complain that washing their hands every time is some kind of burden.

    I used to think that I didn’t need to wash my hands after using the restroom because my entire body gets washed on a daily basis, so touching my dick isn’t a reason to wash them.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still believe that touching my dick doesn’t warrant washing my hands. Now though, I wash them when I use the restroom (though sometimes before rather than after) because it’s a way to ensure that my hands get washed regularly. Most of the other stuff I touch throughout the day doesn’t get washed on a daily basis.

    Wash your hands because the sink is there.

      Not worse! They might have forgotten to flush. At least they have clean hands
