If there’s anything we’ve learned from the coronavirus pandemic, it’s that washing our hands is one of the best ways to protect ourselves from the dangers of contagion. But hand washing does much more than cleanse us physically; sometimes it can wipe our mental slate clean. Here are some examples of what a bit of soap can do for our psyches.
COVID is a horrible example to give for hand washing being effective as it’s an airborne virus. like sure, handwashing is great for other viruses and will never hurt when doing COVID prevention but wearing a respirator is the actual best way to prevent contagion for anything airborne
That is true but what happens when you sneeze into your hand and then touch a doorknob? Much better if you washed your hands first.
