Your lips to EVERYONE’S ears!
You can pick your nose
You can also pick your friends
Don’t pick your friend’s nose
My grandmother worked as a nurse and as a caregiver for most of her life. One saying she taught us was “Your ten fingers are your ten enemies.” True then and very true now.

A wonderful public service haiku!
...and...
“your ten fingers are your ten worst enemies”... a teriffic, concise, life -saving adage!”
And when two or more are gathered in the name of pursuit of photography, remember that a camera or cellphone can be as potentially dangerous as any handrail, doorknob, checkout counter, or any uncovered cough or sneeze !
Bless you all and take special care!

Yes, I read and shared that article. Very well written.

OH, YEAH.
iFixIt did a video of a test of four different smartphone cleaning methods. UV light sanitizers and Clorox Wipes worked best:

Send the link to every smartphone user you know! TWICE.

Wash! Getting the germs OFF of your hands is better than having a handful of (mostly) dead germs.

I suppose you think that Bernie or Sanders is or would do better, huh!!! Or maybe you think you could do better??? I would suggest a good head soaking!! I would also suggest that this is the authors "wishful thinking" at best.
I find interesting and fascinating that when the flu season is here up to 20,000 of us are killed by the flu virus and the media says nothing about it. Corona virus or Covid 19 as it is also called kills 20% of its victims and those are usually patients with chronic diseases or immune deficient systems. The elderly and debilitated have a better chance to succumb to the disease. I read yesterday that a vaccine is right now been tested.
Panic has been generalized. Yesterday several people were wearing masks and the disease tends to infect us through contact with our hands, specially when touching metals. The virus is susceptible to the heat. A simple wash with soap and water removes the virus. Mouth gargles seems to be pretty effective also. Many grocery stores are running out of alcohol, toilet paper and in many cases food.
I have been avoiding large groups of people because if someone is infected it is not known till that particular person begins to have symptoms of pneumonia. I wash my hands frequently, a common recommendation. Simple precautions go a long way.
I hope this pandemic will be history soon so that all of us can go back to our normal activities.
