Why just ties and other "superfluous clothing"? If a tie can carry the bug, a pair of pants probably can, too. Take 'em off. Oh, and you lady docs...

I'm thinking it's because people don't normally wash ties in the laundry, where pants/shirts atleast get that.

The next trend in shirts sold to doctors: a three-dimensional tie painted onto the shirt.

Just when you finally start to break into a profession that pays enough to enable you to afford a decent wardrobe, yet still allows you to hold your head up in public....
...Next thing you know, they'll want you to set a "healthy example" by giving up your vehicle.

Somehow, I don't believe that the PC-PTB would consider a hijab "superfluous".
They would twist their way out of that one, no matter how many weeks of physical therapy were required to unkink themselves afterward

An NHS trust has also told all its staff involved in direct patient care not to wear jewellery, wrist watches, scarves or any "superfluous clothing". A "naked-nurses" ping.

This stuff ain't funny - at all. My wife has it right now(caught early) and in January of this year, I caught it which caused a staph infection to lodge in/around my spine which damn near
killed me. If you ever get it - get to the doctor's office ASAP. It'll flat out get you one way or the other.

Actually laundry doesn't do a great job of removing bacteria. While you can remove dirt and other macro-particles, a lot of the nasty stuff stays behind on that nice, clean-smelling shirt....
