I tended to get every flu and every diarrhoea even before the pandemic. One day I decided to wash my hands thoroughly after shopping. Then came the pandemic. I am not making this up but I haven't had any sickness for eighth years. No flu, no diarrhoea. I didn't even catch COVID. Just because I started washing my hands a bit more often, around half a dozen times a day.
The eight years since the pandemic really have flown by...
He didn't say he started with COVID, he started 'and then came the pandemic'.
You never take public transport or interact with kids?
That's because people are generally disgusting. I'd have to guess that if you talked to basically edit: ~~anyone~~ any scientist about the best way to reduce illness of any sort, they'd say "just wash your hands properly."
I drove a 1000k to the french alps just before the covid thing got traction. We do 4 restroom stops. I was always virtually alone washing my hands. The day we returned the ski resorts closed and lockdown was imminent. Now there was a wait to wash your hands. You had people screaming for soap and washing for 5 minutes straight up to their armpits. I just drove past the same restroom stops again. I was alone in washing my hands again. People are stupid.
That should be common sense, you arrive from street let the shoes at the door or outside if you can, wash your hands. You're in the street Shopping or using public transportation, dont touch your face, wash your hands when you arrive somewhere.
