#HandWashing
Please, never again, let anyone who doesn't believe in handwashing occupy a position of leadership and power.

It is a canary.

And that canary is telling you, "This person cannot even be bothered to engage in common sense for their own benefit. They should not be in charge of anything important."

We still have handwashing guidance only in place for a virus we are breathing in!

If Kemi Badenoch wants to lower disability then she should be talking about the wrong guidance that the Tories themselves put in place! We are still handwashing only for a virus we breathe in and millions have long COVID!

As someone who lived 16 years handwashing everything in the tiniest bathroom sink, i would have guessed immediately.
I confess I would not have guessed that washing machines are harder to give up than tractors.

Over 409 million estimated by the end of 2023 to have long covid and yet no politicians are talking about this as a cause of rising benefits bills. Simultaneously the covid inquiry shows we have had the wrong infection control guidance in place from 2020. Handwashing advice for a predominantly 🧵
A 2024 study estimated that globally, 400 million people have long COVID, with an annual economic burden of around US$1 trillion.

This is in line with similar chronic syndromes from polio, Ebola and Lyme disease after infection.

Studying long Covid is a new field of study.

Blue stater here. People have completely noped out of proper handwashing and using something other than their hands when they sneeze.

There is no single way to prevent viral infection, except in the case of extreme isolation. Viruses exist on surfaces and in the air. Masking, regular handwashing, and social distancing can and do help prevent infection.

Hotels and cruises will gladly provide infinite liquids for the shower but will insist on dinky little bars for handwashing until the heat death of the universe.

Whereas in fact she had her Brownie packing badge*, extensive domestic skills (eg handwashing) and a tidy mind, clarified by a determination to smash the patriarchy

The doctors who first opposed handwashing said “a gentleman’s hands are always clean”

The current talking point for the dichotomy is “I’m vaccinated” when you ask a healthcare provider to mask. That is if they bother to provide an excuse at all.

It all stems from this dichotomy.

The CDC gave up on prevention back during the Biden administration when they went along with normalizing spreading COVID as just another respiratory virus & advocated handwashing for an airborne virus. This helped open the door to having the batshit, overtly murderous RFK Jr. become the HHS head.
The official name of the CDC is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but they gave up on the Prevention part as soon as they abandoned vaccines and they don’t seem all that interested in the Control part either.
Fifteen public health experts had a meeting at the CDC to discuss what needed to be done when we officially lose our measles elimination status on Tuesday.

They agreed that vaccination is the key. But attendees said they don’t know if CDC Director will be “authorized” to publicly endorse vaccines.
