I've been visiting Somerset in the van for a few days, and last night I stayed in a picnic area and truck stop. This morning I went into the cafe for an early morning coffee, and I was offered a bottle of hand sanitiser, and asked to use some. This is obviously as a result of the Coron Virus appearing in the UK. I had no problem with complying, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Far more of a problem could be the communal use of the 'loos in my opinion.

I think that it is the correct measurement that is taken from coffee shops and restaurants.
It is not the way that Corona virus is going to be eliminated but it is a way to make a routine to use hand sanitizers and keep our hygiene levels at their highest.

Hygiene levels at highest, right

Viruses spread easy with something lots of people touch, like touch-screens. They are everywhere like ticket-machines, self-service checkouts, cash deposit machines and restaurants like Mc Donald's...
They also dry and a bit warm so close to perfect temperature for the Virus.

On that note, (cough, cough)

The best part is the hand washing. Washing and washing, all clean now so lets touch the virus infested tap to turn off the water. Cheesy

They are just trying to prevent the virus from spreading it is better to be safe than sorry and besides it is for their employee's safety.
No one wants to be caught with this virus since it is a very dangerous and we don't know if we are still safe from it,
And I think there is no need to be offended by it instead we have to be thankful for their generosity for offering sanitizer for their customer.

Were they wearing plastic gloves when they handed you the sanitizer? Did they replace their gloves after handing the sanitizer to you? Did they sanitize their hands before they put the new gloves on? Do they hold their breath so as not to infect their hands, gloves, and sanitizer? Do you think that Sanitizer is effective against much of anything?

Its more a media hocks-pocus than anything else. All kinds of cancellations, quarantines but basic precautions are overlooked.

They should rather change the lights to UV and turn off AC because we know bacteria love AC filters and pipes. This is turning into a mass hysteria like most Chinese people wear face masks, even though they don't help if you're healthy. Only the sick should wear masks.
Also, hand sanitizers won't help if you keep touching things like steering wheels and door knobs. You'd have to keep washing your hands every time you touch a pen in the office or a computer keyboard.

UV is a fairly new idea, the uses are not all thought out yet. As an example, if everyone carried one around and on, no matter how thick the crowd was, the disinfecting properties would scale.

Virus does not survive that long, something like 24 hours in cold winter and < 1 hr in summer.

The CV virus is not an aerosol, but it spreads via droplets, and they fall to the tables within a few feet if people cough in public. That is why it is stupid to see people wearing face masks, and not wearing gloves.

People should observe sensible hygiene and sanitation procedures, and that is nothing to do with the virus. Lack of sanitation caused many of the plagues in the past, and that is why I am shocked that the US allows people to defecate in the main streets of San Francisco.

It also annoys me to see restaurant staff using the 'loos, and leaving afterwards without washing their hands. That can cause a lot of other health problems as well as the propagation of CV.

My girlfriend is working in a call center and they just announced that everybody must wash their hands right after they arrive at work, which isn't stupid at all, everyone should do that just because of the hygiene reasons. I used to work there for couple months and it was a terrible experience to write on the keyboards filled with leftovers from food, or touched with greasy fingers, awful thing, so it might change also, people are becoming more and more aware of the risk. All in all, the virus disease might be good for the future.

Mate, get used to it already because that is just the beginning actually. Don't be alarmed, I'm sure that Corona virus cases in the Europe region is not yet as as bad as the SEA. Here in our country, even we only got few cases of infected people, safety measures are still exercised. In ports, airports and even in the hotel I checked in few weeks ago, we are required to get scan by body temp. analyzer and ask us whether we have recent travel history outside the country. Most of establishments also have a hand sanitizer dispenser and most of the people you will encounter along the street wear face mask. It is my first time to experience such kind of scenario, everyone around you is cautious which is a little bit disturbing but well I can't blame them because the stigma was in there already.

Honestly, I have a dry cough at this moment but nothing to worry about Grin

. It was due to lack of sleep and change of weather during my review for board exam lol. My immune system fall down but I'm now working on it since our exam was already finished.

Time to start a restaurant for the folks who don't want to wash. If government regs make this impossible, make it a Private Membership Association, so that gov regs don't apply.

In my opinion, disinfectants should really help control the spread of the virus. I think it’s important to keep track of this yourself and use disinfectants more often.

Lol maybe it's just that the restaurant of coffee shop does it generally? If they don't, then it's really concerning how the public is fearing the virus... Maybe in few days we will have to wear masks everywhere :/ let's hope it gets eradicated quickly.

Right! If the restaurant workers have to wear hairnets, patrons should at least have to wash their hands!

^^^ But the REAL question is, How long do you continue to spread the virus after you die from drinking too much alcohol?

Cheesy

Only if you continue coffin.

The silly part about this sanitisation is that they don't use a sanitising spray on the serving counter. They spray the tables in between customer use, but not the counter that everybody leans on to pay.

The hand sanitizer is a protective measure, more effective than masks.

I read a meme last night,mask can save us from corona virus but 90% of masks were produced from China. Grin

To OP, using hand sanitiser helps you really because it can wipe off virus if it presented on your hands then you will be less likely affected.

But corona is turning into more disastrous than everyone thought.

The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is Alcohol. Alcohol in abut 70% concentration is highly effective in destroying virus.

Sadly in this part of the world where I found myself in, a lot of people are just opportunists, imagine a hand sanitiser that used to be sold for 1$ being sold as high as $60, and they all hide under the umbrella of scarcity of the product when we all know its a big fat lie, I wish I had bought enough before the break out!
