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.
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."
