WBB tournament trip - Anyone else get sick?

There are many types. Most people do not take precautions. In Surprise I noticed many Men not washing their Hands in Restroom. It made Me Ill watching Beaver fans and others not wash. People live like pigs. Time we did a little soul searching.

How can folks not wash their hands in the restroom?  I'm no hero just for using common sense hygiene, but hand washing has been automatic for me my entire life.  

Bathroom hygiene is essential - especially when you have very little social distancing ( urinals ) and people all use their hands to flush the same handle and push the same buttons and latch/ unlatch the main door as well as the individual stall doors .
I wash my hands with hot water and the supplied soap and then I use the towel to open or close any other handles. If it is an air dryer, I will pull my shirt or jacket over my hand to open or close / lock the door .
Just a bit of a germophobe - but , I don't like my health being affected by the poor hygiene of others !

The CDC says studies haven’t shown that soaps with antibacterial ingredients provide any health benefits or remove more germs than plain soaps. All soaps, however, can deactivate a coronavirus so it can no longer infect you.

The new coronavirus, coined SARS-CoV-2, is a spherical structure with spiky proteins attached to a membrane, or envelope, that protects the pathogen’s genetic material. Once it comes into contact with soap, this envelope dissolves, leaving behind a dysfunctional virus.

“The envelope is a machine that allows the virus to sneak into human cells,” says Jonathan Abraham, an assistant professor of microbiology at Harvard Medical School. “Without it, the virus cannot infect you.”

—Scrub all surfaces of your hands. People on average wash their hands for only about six seconds, according to several studies. Twenty seconds is what’s recommended—or, the length of the “Happy Birthday” song sung twice—though it depends on what you touched and how often.

And even 20 seconds “is not helpful if you’re not washing the right places,” Dr. Larson says. “It’s about quality, not quantity.”

The most vulnerable parts of your hands are your fingertips, between your fingers, the backs of your hands and under your nails. Rubbing these surfaces with enough force is critical, health experts say. People who have longer nails should be extra cautious, they add.
