“ Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine are running an experiment in a service station to count the number of people who wash their hands. They have got an infra-red beam on the door to the toilets, and sensors on the soap dispensers. The results are automatically sent to their computers. In 2008 about 30% of the men visiting the facilities used the soap dispensers, while last year, when the experiment re-started six weeks after the pandemic in Mexico, hand washing was at 45%, Dr Schmidt notes. “Hand washing then went up throughout July and August, and peaked at 57%. ”

These numbers are DISTRESSINGLY LOW, can I say.
