Nicely done: Iranian Health Professional illustrates with paint Coronavirus protective measures

[hlthe2b]

The paint clearly shows the deficits in most people's "routine' hand-washing and how to address it. No, it is not rocket science, but it may as well be. Likewise the 'hows' of removing gloves without self-contamination. Share this with your "lay" friends/family. Hell, share it with your health professional friends too. They need reminders.

1. Thanks for posting this n/t

[Leghorn21]

2. Terrific, thanks for posting, 2b -- I am the worst hand washer ever, turns out, and had no idea

how bad I was until someone posted the Jimmy Kimmel bit with Guillermo and a Mayo doctor last week...this is every bit as effective, for sure!! I now keep an old toothbrush by the sink for scrubbing, and when I wash my hands now, I AIN’T PLAYIN

Thank you! These “public notices” could well save lives, not kidding -

[hlthe2b]

3. We all get lazy...

It is the seemingly small things that will make the biggest difference.

[Leghorn21]

4. Well now, I wouldn't say I'm "lazy" as much as I am just plain

“IGNORANT”, 2b!! But I’m hip now (not a moment too soon)!!

10. Are you bleaching & drying the toothbrush between uses?

Warm damp surfaces and all that

[Leghorn21]

12. Aw jeez!! NO, but I sure am NOW

Thank you irisblue!!

6. Really makes one realize how NOT to wash hands

[Javaman]

7. Any artist knows exactly this. LOL

you do any sculpture or painting, it takes forever to clean your hands.

great video!

[calimary]

8. Indeed. Under the nails - oy. Keeping this. Good video.

[klook]

28. Also anyone who's done car repairs...

Owning an old car and being poor, and therefore having to do your own repairs, results in hours spent washing hands! Thank goodness for GoJo.

[Javaman]

29. Exactly! nothing like soaking your fingers to get the grease out...

my dad was a mechanic and needless to say, growing up, I was too...not by choice. LOL

[MFGsunny]

9. Picture worth 1000 words. Much obliged for posting. n/t

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. Kick

Can’t watch now.

[Tink41]

13. Bizarre

Who in gods name washes their hands in the way she did? Looked like Nicole Kidman's hand clapping episode. Geesh.

[MrModerate]

16. 1. Those who want to prevent spread of the coronavirus to their very own selves...

2. Medical professionals. 3. Those who tend toward tidiness. 4. Lady Macbeth

[Tink41]

23. After a clinical stint in the OR

I guarantee you this is not how health professionals wash their hands! Other than that I was referring to the first part of handwashing on the video. Not the part where she shows how to correct the hand washing.

[hlthe2b]

17. I hope your foolishness and lack of insight does not cost you.

[Grokenstein]

20. I think Tink41 meant the "bad" example.

Seriously, I thought the same. I get it: I see plenty of co-workers do a half-assed job of washing their hands in the restroom (if they wash their hands at all, dirty bastards). But I've never seen anyone splay their hands out like that to guarantee minimal contact. I presume the doc did so for illustrative purposes.

Even the most basic (decent) hand-washer, at the very minimum, does the "roll one hand around inside the other" to get the outside, then "run one hand back-and-forth from fingertip to grip-the-thumb on the other" to get the inside. Personally, I do a thorough job all the way up the wrists and between the fingers, including "scratching" my palms to get the soap under the nails (including thumbs) before rinsing the hell out of everything. (That and age are making my nails brittle as hell.)

Unrelated side note: Dudes, if you feel you have to "dominate" the soap or towel dispenser by beating the shit out of it, remember this: anyone who sees you do so knows you're insecure because you have a small, limp penis.

[Tink41]

22. Exactly what I meant!!

The example was like someone afraid of touching themselves. Thank you!!

[at140]

26. Research on penis size has concluded that...

smaller penis (in limp state) expands lot more when sexually excited and gets harder than
longer ones in limp state. Longer penis can not stay as hard because of the length.
For example a shorter pole is ALWAYS stiffer than a longer pole of the same diameter.
It is simple and basic physics.

The nerve center in a woman is in her clitoris, and to stimulate that part only requires a short and hard penis.
Also the so called G spot is not 8" deep inside vagina.

To conclude, longer penis (7-9 inches) may look good on porn videos, but a 5-6" penis will create more intense orgasms.

[Tink41]

24. Sorry

I was referring to the 1st bit of handwashing. I've never witnessed such a thing? Have you? Handwashing like you're afraid to touch yourself??

[hlthe2b]

25. I have seen a lot of haphazard, sloppy handwashing, even among HCW's. Thanks for clarifying.

[Skittles]

27. that is how I wash my hands

the last time I called in sick was the day the planes hit the towers

[Tink41]

30. Ha!

You wash your hands like you are daintily applying hand cream to the tops? That's what I'm talking about. Like a hand model on QVC?

[Skittles]

31. ahhh OK

no, I am way too often in a hurry and even though I DO around 25 seconds, I scrub very fast and thorough it get it all in.

[MrModerate]

15. Brilliant demonstration. Sometimes the simplest learning aids are best. n/t

[33taw]

18. I liked the demonstration from the Jimmy Kimmel show better.

The Mayo Dr. demonstrated the germs that are left from poor washing technique. I didn’t really see that in this demonstration.

[Mersky]

19. A beautifully human explanation transcending language and culture

We all have hands that need proper washing. I’ll adopt that extra finger tip curl motion, and will get after my thumbs a little more.
