One particularly scary email I received advocated that we should wash new underwear first before we wear it, in case it may harbor some freaky flesh-eating creepy crawlies. Seriously now, do you believe that?
None of that disturbed me as the site greeting me this morning when I opened my windows to see a happily nose-picking nurse strolling to the bus stop.
It wasn't the quick-scratch we all do now and then... it was more like deep digging, examining the results, flicking it away and doing some more of that. Repetitively, at least 5 times whilst I could see her.
There is no water and soap on the way to the bus or on the bus for that matter. Knowing how the busses drive, you have to hang onto anything you can get your hands on to stay upright.
The nose-picking nurse would be doing the same and when she's done, hundreds of passengers would do the same everyday for as long as those germs remain alive.
Tired kids would return home on the bus, rubbing their tired eyes after touching a particularly germy spot.
Regarding the patients in hospital - I don't even want to go there! Do you really believe that nurses wash their hands everytime after they eat, go to the toilet or pick their noses?
Think again!
