No.
Just no.
There are more ‘germs’ living on/in/around you than you can ever sanitize, or should sanitize.
Sure, practice good hygiene, but be sensible.
Food borne pathogens will forever be a greater threat, and sadly nosocomial infections from hospitalizations.
Yawn.
I didn’t participate in the panic, and have never been particularly a germaphobe.
I do wash my hands a lot, but I do things that can get them sticky and I have acidic skin which itches if coated with mud or something.
I’m no germophobe. Never have been; never will be.
Not me. When I was getting my BS in Microbiology, one of the professors made the point that half of us would turn into germophobes, and the other half would see just how much is out there and decide not to care. I went the non-germophobe route.
I have contact dermatitis.. Everything bothers my skin! lol
Want to live longer? Do not live in big cities, and stay out of hospitals.
I was thinking the poor germaphobes must be going insane.
You’d have to move to the moon to get away from viruses and germs. And then you’d be trapped. The microbes will find you. It’s better to be exposed and have your immune system fight it. The human body is a miracle.
Germaphobes seem to not understand that we have an immune system that usually does quite fine as long as we have reasonable standards of personal hygiene and community hygiene. What I’m concerned about is the germaphobe-nazis who will impose germaphobe standards on individuals and society. Our country will be one big snowflake awaiting the next assault on our weakness. Essentially, freedom will be gone “for the better good”. Pathetic.
I keep thinking of Adrian Monk, the fictional detective, trying to solve a case in today’s San Francisco.
Those are words of wisdom!

I agree with the above.
It's ain't rocket science. New York is a disease haven. Los Angeles is too but they all drive around in cars, not sniffly, sneezy subways.
And the MERS thing grows happily in hospitals, no?
The big breakouts in the world have all been around highly populated areas. Human beings, even all animals, are not meant to live crowded but the germs love it.
Same here.
I’m a germaphobe......just like our President!
Little did I know I’ve been way ahead of the curve!
Looked at this without my reading glasses and saw “We are all Germanophobes now”
We are!
They would weaken everyone’s immune systems in their quest for cleanliness. Typically, making matters worse, not better.
