WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS

[Zoidberg]

Main focus for preventing coronavirus spread should be hand hygiene, not face masks

Frequent hand-washing, not wearing a face mask, is the most important step the public can take to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the World Health Organization said Thursday.

Michael Ryan, the executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, addressed the use of face masks during a media briefing Thursday. The WHO stance regarding surgical masks being worn by the general public is that only those who are already sick with a respiratory illness should wear them.

Good luck with THAT advice. I see waaaay too many people using the restroom without washing their hands. It's disgusting, but you're not going to change those folks ways. :censor:

A doctor on the TV said to cary a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

There you go ! Carry a bottle with you ! And since germs go into the body, dosing internally is probably better, right ?

Don't touch your mustache.

Or any part of your face

Purell is at 65%, but the FDA slapped their wrists.

This is great advice, and a very common practice in Japan, and elsewhere I imagine.

I'm going to keep one handy.

That and an occasional ::cough couch:: should get me through lines at the post office and DMV faster.

That's another way to go.

Let Darwin and economics sort it out.

Only the rich and the hardy survive.

It's cullin' time!

The head of the task force says "just pray on it".
