So definitely: wash your hands.

And don’t put your hands to your face, unless you are in the shower washing it.

My aunt has this one kooky friend...who am I kidding, most of her friends are kooky.

Anyway, the friend is terrified of the ‘rona and will not go out despite having the vax.

My aunt was explaining to her the need to get out and keep the immune system revved by challenging it but to be prudent about certain things such as not putting one’s hands to one’s face.

The woman thought the idea of not putting one’s hands to one’s face was stupid and the silliest thing she ever heard and asked my aunt from which crackpot she heard this.

I could offer no explanation to my aunt for why or how someone could be so daft. I haven’t been putting my hands to my face for years. You can’t always wash them after touching things, such as when grocery shopping. And too much hand sanitizer causes its own set of problems.

In a uber-sanitary world of post-Rona...isn’t that what touching one’s face should do?

Sheesh, your post conjured up long buried memories of when I was little, and MY aunt would lick her finger, and smear her spittle on my face to get a speck of misplaced food off... ewww, grossss (shudder!) Thanks a lot!

The first thing I do when I come home from anywhere is wash my hands, a practice I learned from my dear late mother decades ago.
