I use hand sanitizers at stores and the gas pump. It's not only for viruses and flus. I've seen a lot of nose picking and I've seen a lot of people exit bathrooms without washing their hands. Its protection man. I use those wipes like crazy.

Also, it's the virus aerosols that are more dangerous because they can remain in the air for up to 50 days. Masks offer no protection against this. Environment engineering (air ventilation/filtration) is the best way to address aerosols. But, of course, this effective, well-trod approach was downplayed (or just silenced) in favor of useless masks which have caused a huge environmental disaster (little blue plastic face masks in our oceans, waterways, ground, and garbage dumps).

haha yeah that nose picking is an issue. I tell you though, I dont like the chemicals they put in those things. I carry around baby wipes which many are natural and work great.

We have far more beneficial bacteria on our hands than negative, so using anti bacteria wipes kills everything, and that's a problem.

All one needs to do is break apart a virus of bacteria. Simple washing with plain old soap works great. One does not need anti bacteria chemicals, it is really a sales ploy. Our skin is an amazing organ, it can withstand a lot. So I believe we are damaging our skin with chemicals from many of those products.

I am willing to bet that one day they will tell us those wipes cause cancer. Haha, they always do.

Thanks for the tip. That's a great idea. I'm going to get some baby wipes. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they cause cancer. We live in opposite world. Reminds me of this movie...
