Those 'no-touch' soap dispensers used to really annoy me, they had the right idea but without a no-touch tap, what's the point? Same as dutifully washing your hands in a public toilet then exiting using the same door handle as someone who does not.

Touch the cublicle door - turn or slide the lock - open facebook - do your business - flush - touch the lock again - quite possibly touch the door - turn on/off the tap 20mins later - touch your phone screen, rub your eyes, eat your lunch It's not good is it? |

Re: Social Distancing ...
What about your fly or belt? Generally touch them before washing your hands.

Re: Social Distancing ...
Chris you're right, I hate handling other people's phones! They've got to be muckier than (famously dirty) cash.

Re: Social Distancing ...
Touching your fly without washing your hands first won't hurt you, but be careful how much further you go. This virus infects you through your mucous membrane so the end of your urethra is a vulnerability......

Re: Social Distancing ...
The other issue is touching your face - most people touch their face 20 times/hour and once informed they're doing it, the frequency of touching increases (sorry about that). As someone who has a perpetually itchy nose and has always been a frequent sneezer, this is proving to be a difficult time.
https://www.livescience.com/why-hard...hing-face.html One of the advantages of wearing a mask (for non medical professionals) is that it draws your attention to the fact you're touching your face. Maybe I need to wear my helmet all the time?
