A health official from Santa Clara County, Calif., has gone viral online after footage surfaced of her licking her finger shortly after advising the public not to touch their faces to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
In footage of the moment at a recent press conference, Sara Cody, who serves as the public health officer and director for Santa Clara County, could be seen telling the public at one point, “Start working on not touching your face, because one main way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes.”
Then, at a later point during the briefing when Cody began stressing the importance of “enhance cleaning of surfaces,” the health official could be seen licking her finger to turn a page while at the podium.
An edited video of the moment juxtaposing her instruction and her finger licking has racked up over 6.25 million views since it was posted on Twitter this week.

Apparently the advise is harder to keep in real life.
You know if she had planned this it would be brilliant.
Her epic failure has spread her message much further than she could ever have hoped.
Nose picking is still safe, right?
Technically, the tongue is IN the mouth and not part of the face itself. (I was raised by two democrat parents. I can parse a sentence almost as well as any RAT.)
Well, it is California. And it is only her own finger.... but...
Typical optics for California.
So long as it’s your own.
Pandemic or not, germophobes like myself regard this as a disgusting habit.
Does she work at the SPA as her 2nd job?
Or maybe at the SPCA.
Councilwoman, how do you feel about Joe Biden being your nominee?
Let's hope Slow Joe never sees this video, don't give the old finger-biter any ideas.
he’s going to start licking faces
That finger could have been anywhere!
So long as it’s your own.
********
That’s it! That’s the Last Straw!
I’m going Full Libertarian! No big bully government with it’s random and ridiculous laws to limit whos nose I can pick and when!
That’s hilarious and I’ve met her...
Goof and mouth disease
“Nose picking is still safe, right?”
So long as you thoroughly wash your hands both before and after, yes it is.
