The game Left4Dead has a note on the wall “washing hands does nothing”.
And “it’s not a flu!”
It’s airborne in droplets, washing hands doesn’t stop particulates in the air from landing in your face or being breathed in.
Let’s see how panicked my area gets.
Washing hands cleans droplets from your hands as well as washing off anything you might have picked up from surfaces. And don’t forget there are still other pathogens out there.
