heads up: if you have rude things to say to people who didn’t know the information you do, please keep it to yourself. we learn through teaching, not through shame.
any comments about how people dying of covid-19 is due to poor hygiene is getting blocked. washing your hands is to protect not only yourself, but other people who are at infinitely more risk of dying from the virus than you, much like how people who don’t get vaccines aren’t the ones dying from preventable disease, it’s the ones who CAN’T get vaccines who have it spread to them. those people’s immune systems can’t take a vaccine in the first place.

here’s a handy chart on the best practices for hand washing! a large part of people don’t do it correctly and it’s not always life or death, but with the incredibly infectious nature of COVID-19 it doesn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with the proper way to do it!
turing-tested:
handwashing can dramatically lower the risk of contracting coronavirus because it’s an enveloped virus, it’s specifically surrounded in a lipid (fat) and the majority of soaps are designed to break up grease and fat bonds which means if you break up that outer layer? the virus dies! it’s not super hardy without that outer layer, so washing your hands beyond just physically removing the virus, kills it as well if you use soap.
