It's sad we're being told to wash our hands.


Like people weren't washing their hands before? What did their mothers teach them?

Apparently not much. I cruise frequently so it has always been a hot topic on the Cruise Critic forums. Norovirus can be a problem on ships and there have been numerous large breakouts over the years. Frequent hand washing helps control the disease but all the time we see people using the bathroom and not washing their hands - according to my husband, men are huge offenders. Totally gross.

I think things will totally change when things open up again. I see salad bars going away - sad bout that because I like the one at Ruby Tuesday's. Maybe even self serve buffets, like the ones at casinos will disappear. But then, servers need to change their habits also. Unless it is high end restaurant, they remove dirty dishes and then touch clean ones. That needs to stop also.

Not that sad considering oil tankers have big NO SMOKING signs.

They are hiring the wrong people if they need to be constantly reminded not to blow up the ship.

That's just lawyer types covering the arses.

People have always been washing their hands. They just want us to do it more frequently during a pandemic. Go figure.

Its beyond belief.
