[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH the hand washing thing has always seemed a bit trite to me (though I do it). Seems like it would only help you avoid picking it up from surface transmission (by washing it off before it reaches an orifice), which is only part of the problem. . [/quote]

Reducing your risk by 50% is better than nothing.[/quote]

Agreed. That's why I'm washing hands throughout the day and immediately upon entering my house, hand sanitizing in the interim while in the car, and running a clorox wipe over my steering wheel, seatbelt, gear shift, other frequently touched car interior spaces, and car door handle daily. And ordering as much as I can online to avoid going to stores (though I know that may be endangering the delivery people who drop it off on the porch if they touch things). Oh, and wiping door knobs with clorox wipes or spraying them with lysol. It sounds OCD, I know, and I'm burning through my products quickly with these practices, but I believe in doing everything I reasonably can to minimize my risks. [/quote]
