Speaking of wipes, I saw this woman at the gym get on a elliptical machine. She wiped it down with four different wipes. The disinfectant was dripping everywhere. I don't know what she thinks she was doing.

I keep them around. The only thing I use them for is wiping down the outside of the toilet.

For countertops I spray vinegar or, if it is greasy, ammonia.

Instead of trying to disinfect every object just keep your hands away from your face and wash them properly.

I have several cell phone cases that are cheap & easily removable. I change it twice a week and wash throw it in the dishwasher.

People go through all this paranoid cleaning and don’t realize that the biggest source of germs in their life is the cell phone.

There was very little that came out of the covid scare which is worth while.

Almost all junk.

We grew up and have lived many many decades without a single disinfectant wipe around. Gosh, how will we ever make it another decade or so?

Article Summary: “The disinfectant wipes of popular brands often contain antimicrobial chemicals called quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)” which “are linked to reproductive, developmental, respiratory, and skin harms” and “neurological damage. Further, these chemicals can contribute to antimicrobial resistance, making certain bacteria resistant both to the antimicrobials themselves and also to critical antibiotics.”

I use 91% alcohol to light the morning fire in my wood stove.
Disinfecting takes place when some is spilled refilling the spray bottle.
Half a paper towel works well.

I have 35 years experience in emergency medicine. I make my own wipes by buying adult paper washcloths from walmart. I open the package and pour in some 91 percent alcohol. I keep a pack handy in the car in case I come in contact with a democrat. I use the wipes to clean contact surfaces when I am out and about. I also keep a small cardboard box in the vehicle to dispose of the used wipes.
My covid routine is daily D3 with K, zinc,and quercetin with bromelain. Haven’t had a flu shot in 15 years (had to bribe the hospital flu shot giver) and can’t remember when I had the flu last.

After a day of running errands and grocery shopping, I wash my hands at the kitchen sink when I get home, I hope I’m not being overly neurotic.

I’ll take my chances with the wipes in public with all these infectious diseases pouring over our border.

Did you see the guy’s nasty stinky sweaty butt that sat on it before her? That might be the reason.

The COVID panic fueled by misinformation from Fauci and other government officials created an obsession with things like hand sanitizers, disinfectant products and totally worthless panaceas like face masks and plexiglass screens. Just like our mothers taught us when we were kids, wash your hands with soap before meals and after handling dirty stuff is the best advice. However, the COVID cult dies hard and hand sanitizer dispensers still are at the entrance to most public spaces like holy water fonts in Catholic Churches and a few diehards still sport face masks.
