You know how I know it's bullshit.

No one ever was told to "not touch your face" and "wear gloves".

I don't care if it's a respiratory virus. If you get it on your hands and you touch your face, the particulate is on your face and it is a matter of time before you ingest the particulate and the virus. You will inevitably get sick. No one said a word about wearing gloves, even when people claimed the virus could survive on a surface for 2 weeks. Instead of properly washing your hands, they just told people to use hand sanitizer, as if that was anything even like washing your hands.

Behaving like that isn't a good way to avoid getting the flu, let alone the most aggressively mutating and transmissible virus witnessed in human history.
