This is ... not nice
Do you really want to shake that hand? Photo: vchal/Getty Images/iStockphoto Well, here’s an incredibly not-nice statistic: Apparently, 69 percent of men don’t wash their hands after using a public bathroom.
At least, that’s according to 2009 study cited by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the institute’s online guide to the “corporate activity” of handwashing, a basic hygienic practice that’s receiving quite a bit of attention amid the rapid spread of coronavirus. In comparison, the same study found that 35 percent of women don’t wash their hands after using public bathroom — certainly not great, but not nearly as egregious.
Learning this statistic would be troubling at truly any point in modern times. Men, unfortunately, are everywhere: at your office, at restaurants, on the subway, and even in your homes. Now just think of everything they touch after grasping their urinating dicks, and then, in 69 percent of cases, simply exiting the bathroom: their keyboards, communal fridges, the button on the water machine, and perhaps even — and I’m so sorry — your hands.
But this study is particularly alarming during the age of coronavirus. As public-health experts have stressed over the past few months, as the disease has rapidly spread across the world, regularly washing your hands is the most effective way to protect yourself against COVID-19. Right now, in New York, there are 22 confirmed cases, and that number will surely rise. Ladies, watch where you’re putting your hands — a man’s dirty paws could’ve been there.

Urban Prepping for the Coronavirus at the DrugstorePanic about Coronavirus has ratcheted to an almost unseemly level of handwringing, as reports of new, confirmed cases from locales far and wide proliferate. According to NPR, there are over 100 cases of the virus in the United States alone; Wuhan, the city in China where the virus originated, has been on lockdown for most of the year. The Olympics were nearly canceled. In Italy, the virus runs rampant. A cruise ship carrying 2,500 passengers was quarantined for weeks off the coast of Japan after reports that passengers on the ship tested positive for the virus. Racism, both casual and overt, burbles under the surface. Fearing the worst, and perhaps rightfully so, the general public has begun to prepare for the worst: a global pandemic that will eventually see all of us trapped in our homes, barricaded against the virus via self-quarantine.\n
