. Not to worry, this astrophysicist figured out how to not touch your nose. When you read the article and stop laughing, you may be glad you're not an astrophysicist. Bored Scientist Has Cool Magnet Idea, Doesn't End Well
Then I seen a clip on the news the other day about someone making cloth toilet paper....it would see to me that one would have to wash the cloth "toilet paper" and I wouldn't want to wash my clothes int he same washer.
Eco-friendly alternative to toilet paper horrifies internet
We all used cloth diapers for our kids back in the day. Why not cloth TP for adults that could be washed? Lots of washers these days have sanitary cycles that use steam, etc.

I would rather hop in the shower and hose off than have a stash of rags to wash. Be cheaper and less work than running a load of rags in the washer with hot water and then drying them. If you have a clothes line it would be quite as notch cost but still a pain to deal with.

jerkwads are disposing their gloves in parking lots everywhere before getting back into their vehicles. I've seen some around town.

I’ve been seeing the same thing at a few places. It’s very simple to pull them off, inside out, and throw them on the floor board until you get home or to the next trash can.

One thing is for sure, this period of time has heightened my awareness of other people’s behavior and the significant level of dumbass that exists in our society.

UV_C at that level would fry you. Great sanitizer though. The units are used to sanitize drinking water, hotel rooms, and hospital rooms.

These things are awesome, they use xenon gas and UV light. Not many hospitals have them though I believe.

Not true. Other masks don’t provide as much protection but they do protect. Multiple studies have looked at this.

What's not true? I only mentioned N95s because they're the commonly discussed mask today.

Most folks don't have access to half or full face respirators . . . and don't get fit tested with other masks.

What's the point in wearing one if you're not properly fit tested?

One way to practice removing gloves without contaminating yourself is to squirt a dab of shaving cream in one hand and rub hands together. Now remove the gloves without getting any shaving cream on your skin. It is best if you practice removing gloves in a way that one glove is contained inside the other glove that is turned inside out.
