The virus will love France, and our hygiene will save us here.

Is that because at least 1/3 of the French people are from a protected group that doesn’t think washing their hands after they use the bathroom is necessary because the rock they used was sufficient?

If you think you have to do a survey of hygiene habits...you do!

Over one hundred years ago my late grandfather served as a US Army sergeant in France in 1918 with the American Expeditionary Force. Although he never talked about being in combat, at least not to us grandkids he did often remark how ‘’filthy’’ he found the French people to be. Looks like much hasn’t changed in over one hundred years.

I have no doubt this news is not news to HG.
Most bloggers are French.

My Grampa said the same thing about the Frogs. He was Army.

the French no longer deserved their lingering reputation as a smelly nation
Sacrebleu! Working hard to regain the former number one position.

One bar of soap per year. It’s why they invented perfume.

Spot on. Just the most basic thing of washing hands after the loo and before food handling etc can help enormously. I rembember reading something about Queen Elizabeth the 1st. Said she ‘bathed once a month, whether she need it or not’. Be on the nose after a day, let alone a whole month

They don’t wash their junk.

Those people only use their left hand, so the right is perpetually clean

That great-grandfather of mine who emigrated from France to Wheeling, West Virginia? This was probably why.

This is not really going to make the french that much more susceptible. The virus moves easily through the air. Physical contact is not necessary. The Japanese are ultra clean. They do not shake hands, and yet it moves through Japan. So expect the virus to move through most crowded countries.

The French have had a rep long before any non-Europeans showed up there. My impression is that people from warmer climes tended to bathe and change their clothes daily because sweat created pretty strong odors, and warm-ish water to bathe or wash clothing in wasn’t really an issue. Whereas in colder climes, firewood had to be gathered, water had to be heated up, etc, etc. Traditional Indians have a special aroma because of the curry they consume (which comes out in the pores like garlic) and a hair product that incorporates coconut oil some of which has invariably gone rancid.
