#WashYourHands

This right here, y'all.

If it's right and good and normal and expected for any public restroom to be stocked with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels (and sometimes condoms),
then it is also right and good and should be normal and expected for every public restroom to be stocked with pads and tampons.

MastodonPaxil (@Paxil@mastodon.social)@ferricoxide@evil.social @RickiTarr@beige.party So you don't support toilet paper, soap, nor hand towels in public restrooms either.? What's the difference.?

My mother (photo right) was born soon after that 1918 pandemic. Her older sister Anna (photo left) had died from it while still a toddler, just shy of her third birthday.

My entire childhood, my Mom was always telling me to "go wash my hands."

I couldn't come in the door from school without washing my hands right away (and before getting my hugs welcoming me home).

I couldn't touch money without washing my hands right after.

I was taught how to NOT touch things: use my sleeves for public doorknobs, flush public toilets with my shoe/elbow (if I had to use them at all), and just generally be aware of germs in public spaces.

People probably thought she was #OCD and weird when I was growing up. And during my childhood years (1960s to 70s), she probably was.

But she was also correct.

"Did you wash your hands?"

Thanks, Mom.👐 ❤️

OMG you guys, this covid is no joke.

And I am one of the lucky ones, got a few vaccines in me before I started reacting to them, was already under the care of an immunologist, and full of the meds they use to treat covid anyway.

I am slowly improving, and was always safe, but hooboy! been pretty miserable.

So please, #washYourHands #wearAMask and be understanding of those of us working hard to avoid exposure. It's justified.

Just a reminder that while the primary source of #COVID19 transmission is airborne & droplet, surfaces are the third leading source per #WHO report last year & further confirmed by a new study by London's Imperial College described here:
