Hand Washing: The Sequel - a podcast by Jeff Caplan, KSL Newsradio

So the end is near.  We can see the finish line.  The After begins shortly.  So… quick question.

Are you gonna keep washing your hands?  I mean five times a day with soap and warm water singing happy birthday.According to a new study of 2-thousand americans…  almost half of us will stick with the new hygiene regimen

42-percent of people surveyed plan to scrub their skin as if we still had a pandemic.  Hand sanitzer.  Oh you betcha.In the great before… studies showed that regardless of what people say… if you stood in a public rest room and watched people - the vast majority of men - 69% -  walked out of the restroom without washing.

Now… a year later … we’re a nation of snowflake germaophobes… and it looks like for half of us… the intensive hand washing is gonna remain a way of life.For the other half…. when this is all over if you plan to waltz out of a mens room without washing … I have four words.  

 Happy Birthday to you.After this is done…. If you’re not gonna wash your hands in the mens room..  try to understand why I’m gonna stick with elbow bumping.
