I know Grumpy Bear won't see my reply. He's like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand. Regardless, he missed some pertinent facts. 1) Washing your hands too often over an extended amount of time can weaken your immune system. Everything from the Cleveland Clinic, CDC, et al that I've read on the topic specifically states "short term" frequent have washing is okay. There is nothing on long term frequent long term have washing. However, other research can be used anecdotally to recognize that long term exposure can aid in building immunity. Here's 1 such piece of evidence: https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(12)00519-2/fulltext 2) We're Americans. This country was built by rebels through rebellion against tyrannical oppression via "law" and "regulations". Rebellion is part of our culture. It's encouraged and supported to an extent. After all, society says things like, "You're not breaking the rules of you don't get caught." So, of course we're going to run stop signs, pass in no passing zones, and have 20 car loads of people over at our house. It may break a rule or 2, but it's also passive rebellion, aka civil disobedience. We're suppose to be a free people. Ironically, the states with political leanings to the right are more free and the states with political leanings to the left are much more restricted. I'm in California. My kids haven't seen the inside of a classroom in over a year. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to see their friends. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
