It is all fucking bullshit. Washing hands might be worse for you. Now you are touching a thing to turn on the water, and then you touch a thing for soap, and more touching to get towels. You could have just peed and bounced. But instead you spent a extra two minutes in the germ factory with people pooping out bombs.
I went to get immunotherapy a few months ago. It was shortly after there was a case of corno-whatever close by. They made all the people going to the cancer floors wear masks when getting on the elevator (if going to those floors).
Once I got in to see the oncologist he was all, “take off the silly mask”. They did the same in infusion.
I barely wash my hands unless I am dealing with raw chicken. I don’t piss on my hands, I don’t shit on my hands. No need to waste water. And even if my hands are pristine I still have shit and piss molecules all over my clothes. And I touch my clothes a lot. And farts. Smells are molecules in your mouth. When you smell a fart that is someones shit on your buds.
I get the urge to feel like you are doing something to protect yourself. But it is theater.
