Hmmm. It’s like GenZ has spent their formative years living through a historic pandemic that is causing mass death and disability.

@luckytran it's also stupid..

If one washes one's hands
* After every use of the bathroom
* Before handling food
* After handling raw meats

That's 10 times a day per person right there.

@windrunner @luckytran yeah, thinking on it, I’m probably 15-20 times a day — sometimes less thoroughly than others, when I’m just at home, but yeah. Geez.

@windrunner @luckytran Yep, and if you work in anything adjacent to food service or healthcare that number is gonna shoot straight up from there.

When covid first started and all of these people were complaining about washing their hands so much I was just like. So y'all never worked in restaurants, or a clinic, or a homeless shelter or anything like that, huh?

@windrunner @luckytran I mean, if you're a dehydrated vegetarian who doesn't cook then maybe 9 times is fine 😜

@windrunner @luckytran I usually wash after (during!) eating because my hands can get gloppy eating (frequently fingers are involved), and I don't like dirty hands.

I'm old, too.
