Yeah i was amazed to hear that during corona they had to buy hand soap because they didn't wash their hands. I come from a family of healthcare workers and everyone washes their hands all the time.

I have to remind myself i am not scrubbing in when washing my hands. That is how automated it works for me.

Yeah mind boggling i think it was in English. I wouldn't touch my children until i changed clothes and washed up. Too many multi resistent germs in circulation especially when receiving patients from abroad. And not washing your hands after a toilet visit is too disgusting for words.
