What about "don't touch your face?" Who is advocating to start touching your face? If you don't have to touch your face, don't do it. I've heard that advice well before covid and all throughout the pandemic.
I've heard it well before too, but when is the last time you heard it? But thats besides my point. We were mislead about masks in the beginning, even Fauchi was not advocating mask wearing in the beginning, yet there were stories about nurses being forced to ration and re-use theirs. I'm not saying it wasn't what needed to be done but it had consequences, one of which is a certain level of skepticism when the message is changed from "Masks are not" to "Masks are"
This is just general common sense advice for literally an illness. It's not COVID-specific. If you touch your eyes, nose, and mouse, you're more likely to get infected by whatever's around.
I agree, not arguing with You. The point is I watch people on the news everyday adjusting their masks, pulling them under their nose, scratching their foreheads etc... yet I honestly have not heard a word regarding face touching for the past 2 or 3 months. Can you honestly say you have? I wasn't arguing for face touching so don't get all virtuous and preachy about my comment.
