Germans consider Americans filthy.
OK, so we have the top three obsessively clean countries with the US coming in, what, third?
1.) Japan
2.) Germany
3.) United States
Who is fourth? Canada? As I mentioned, I’ve traveled outside the US a fair amount, and most regard Americans as obsessive about bathing and cleanliness. To say that Americans “stink” at hand-washing is creating some perfect, ideal basis of comparison that does not exist.
