just

wash your hands

hand sanitizers are what they are, they are a poor substitude and if EVERYONE washed their hands then THEY WOULDN'T be putting gems everywhere.

That's kind of the point I was trying to make this morning when i got attacked for giving a shit about other people and making a reccomendation to EVERYONE to wash their hands so others won't be as exposed.

I'm going to leave the typos and the misspellings in here tonight.

The point has to do with 20 years of studying and helping investigate biofilms and viruses.

it is okay though - don't wash your hands, rub your eyes grab a door handle.

also don't touch your face.

it doesn't take much to transmit one organism...  all it has to do is get on your hand, then you touch your face somewhere and that one lands there, protocol for using alcohol as a sanitizer is kind of nuts, aka you have to cover the whole area, not miss any spots. that's hard to do with that gel stuff, takes a lot of it. Better to have everyone washing hands.

Also just better to have MORE people washing hands.

Don't @ me. Don't email me. Don't comment. Just wash your hands. Skip the hand sanitizer, or walk past it to wash.

Sure there are plenty of times when you may want to use that stuff and can't find a sink. Will it make the difference between getting infected and not? Probably a big fat nope.

Better off just wearing gloves and not touching your face.

A barrier is better than decontaminating.

But hey, I'm only saying this so you help prevent the spread of the cold, flu or whatever pandemic is en vogue.

The number of asymptomatic people out there, that should terrify you. Esp since we're all likely going to be in that group at some point or another.

So. Since you don't know w/o constant testing if you are healthy or asymptomatic...

just.
wash.
your.
fucking.
hands.

and skip the hand sanitizer (this statement isn't meant to be an absolute blanket for everyone, for that 0.01% out there just make sure you use enough of it to actually be effective and you hit every exposed contact surface or where contact surfaces have touched)

are you glad I haven't gone off on the mask thing yet?

Soap works.
DO not use that antimicrobial bullshit either, just, plain, soap.

twitter vacation should be good - already bored - still pissed off - day really hasn't improved - got absolutely fucking soaked on the ride home...

dinner will be ready in 30 mins or so
