Just a reminder about soap, water, and hand washing

An oldie but a goodie and weirdly on-topic. I am going to make my staff meeting watch this; we seem to have some resisters among the team who aren't really getting the whole--scrub all the germs off with soap thing yet.

Since you've tagged coronavirus it's worth noting that (as far as I know) soap breaks down the oily lipid membrane and actively kills the virus, whereas with bacteria - which is what this video's testing for - the soap usually just drags them off your hands and down the sink.

Hence the whole 'wash with soap for 20 seconds' thing relating to this outbreak.

They never answered the question at all.

The question was "How do air based dryers spread pathogens?"
Not, "How much bacteria grows when don't use soap?"

I'm still left wondering where the bacteria is coming from when I use the dryer, in comparison to the paper.
