These GOP-ers who say they don't wash their hands and that nobody needs to.

[Aristus]

I know their stock-in-trade is to be against anything that makes even a lick of sense. But isn't "Restaurant workers don't need to wash their hands" taking it a little too far? Does the RNC give prizes to the congresspersons who say the stupidest shit?

1. Not that I doubt you at all, but which of the Republican anal sphincters

actually said that?

[Aristus]

4. Senator Thom Tillis, R-NC.

6. To be fair, he said it in 2015. But it was phenomenally stupid then too.

2. I am fairly certain that they do.

I have no other reasonable explanation for the excrement that regularly flows from their mouths.

3. Yes, republicans do give a prize to the congressperson who says the stupidest shit.

It's called campaign donations.

[Aristus]

5. Well done.

[BComplex]

7. Thanks!

Only stating the obvious!

12. It wasn't obvious to me.

8. I'm sure they are licking door handles too.

Hope they all come down with it. This could work out in our favor.

10. Yep... Just let them keep congregating among themselves.

Let tRUMP have his big rant ops.

11. Some of these guys and gals may be getting Darwin awards

I suggest that anyone shaking their paws may wish to vigorously wash their hands afterwards,

[Aristus]

13. My saving grace may be that I would never shake the hand of a GOP-er.

Too much self-respect...

15. Bet parents of children are starting to take it very seriously.

The NBA suspending the season has to have awakened a bunch to reality.

Getting genuinely serious instead of just alarmed, though, takes time. I waved my almost-80 husband and 50s-60s-ish friends off to fish this morning with a supply of antiseptic wipes and a reminder that we're progressing to community spread in Florida and to wash their hands, wash their hands. My husband rather irritatedly reminded me they were going to a distant wilderness lake, not into "the community."

That was about two minutes before he'd be grabbing a "community" nozzle to fill the gas tank.

, but night before last was the first time it came home to me that I really could lose him. Age is a serious risk factor, not just ill health from age.

17. I used a bread bag yesterday at the pump for a glove

I have a lot I saved, used one and tossed it in the trash. Rinsed my hands with rubbing alcohol whenever I got back to the truck. Yesterday was the first time I used a wipe at Trader Joe's. Costco had folks willing to wipe the cart when you came in the door, but by then I had already handled it. (Had a dental appointment yesterday so stocked up while in town.) Best Wishes,

18. Oh, good idea! We have some saved for reuse also.

I'll put some in the vehicles. As a mom and grandma I've always been a believer in clean hands but confess even so I've just started learned where the wipes are in each store. I've started pulling a row of wipes off and after wiping turning it over and draping it along the cart handle. How much that helps or doesn't as my hands return to it I have no idea, but it feels like doing something.

Wishing you and all yours nice, immunity-generating colds as well.

19. Don't ALL people know to wash their hands? Virus or not?

Hell, I though we were all raised that way.
