Software engineer (you'll get a lot of those). Most software has so. many. bugs. I keep a mental list of them and when I see some weird behavior I'll try to reproduce it. I'll also judge bad design choices.
But this has very minor impact. I can't imagine being a health professional in a setting with many people. It must be pretty stressful seeing people being disgusting with public spaces.
I was reading your post out loud to my partner, and then he explained to me that some bugs are actually good/beneficial. He specifically mentioned GTA where when you get a two star "wanted" rating, police cars are supposed to follow the road rules, and then block you in... But instead, they don't follow the road rules at all!
Yeah, it can be pretty stressful. I will wash my hands as soon as I get home, change clothes, shower, etc. depending on where I have been that day. And never shoes in the house past the entry.
My grandma was a nurse and working with kids and never touched hand rails and always washed her hands when she came home.
Do you touch hand rails if not absolutely necessary, or not wash your hands when you come home? That sounds disgusting!
I touch hand rails. And i never wash my hands immediately upon entering my home unless I've just been shopping. I don't get sick almost ever. Is the idea that this prevents you from getting sick or just that it helps you not to feel gross?
Of course 2 years ago I had a child, I touch as little as possible in public, I wash my hands constantly while out and at home. I am sick all the time. The child doesn't go to daycare and we don't go to church but we're all sick several times a year.
Latter.
I'm also seldomly ill, which is nice. I don't want to try out if touching and licking stuff in public would influence this. It's just gross.
I'm the same. I don't touch hand rails, handles, escalator belts (?). Honestly, of the hundreds and thousands of people who touch them every day, how many of them have not contaminated their hands in some way before touching those surfaces? I can guarantee nearly 100% of them, and a large portion of them won't have washed their hands properly after using the toilet.
