” I rarely wash my hands, and I still don’t get sick”
Well good for you.
But a lot of us find filth and germs disgusting and unhealthful.
And yes, “they” do know what they are talking about when they say washing of hands helps prevent the spread of colds and other viruses including Norvo.
How anyone can run around without washing their hands is beyond me...and beyond gross.

As I said, I’ll get back with you when I get sick (LOL).
“How anyone can run around without washing their hands is beyond me...and beyond gross.”
Agree...but that’s my point. Doing something to avoid grossing yourself out does NOT necessarily mean it’s effective at anything.
And by the way, I typically travel to 3rd World Countries and behave just the same...and no problems (although I obviously take some precautions, like staying clear of tap water there).
“But a lot of us find filth and germs disgusting and unhealthful.”
One other thing...what you say is certainly true, but irrelevant. First, there is NOTHING that shows filth is unhealthful, unless you eat it. If you say my condition after a day of working on cars...you’d get the point that filth and health don’t go together (and no, I don’t usually shower before going to bed, unless my wife makes me).
Germs, yes, they are unhealthful, but I yet to catch a germ in the act. Unlike others, I don’t carry a Scanning Electron Microscope with me all places, so I doubt that I would see one attacking me. My point is that we have NO clue how these germs spread...for all we know we are born with them in us, and if we hit the right environment conditions, they can multiply and attack...that one I actually could believe based on my near-sick days.
That's one reason I try to avoid public restrooms. It's shocking how many people think that lathering their hands for two seconds, or even rinsing them under water with no soap at all, is just fine.
