None Of Us Realized How Hard It Is To Not Touch Your Face Until The CDC Told Us Not To (19 Tweets)
Look, you should have have been washing your hands this whole time. It’s a little troubling to me that this seems like new information to so many of you. However, touching your own face isn’t something you really think about, well, not until someone tells you not to do it. Then you realize you touch your face no less than 1,467 times a day. We’re all going to die.

CDC: please don’t touch your face
Me: what if I get something in my eye
CDC: just try not—
Me: or like, a bad itch on my cheek
CDC: then wash yo—
Me: THIS IS TOO HARD, I CAN’T DO IT
CDC: *facepalm*
Me: SEE YOU CAN’T DO IT EITHER

Somehow “don’t touch your face” to me turned into “you can only touch your face at home where all the bacteria that can be found is like family and def not corona virus”

CDC: don’t touch your face
My face: Your nose itches. You have an eyebrow out of place. Your cheek itches. You have a sharp booger. Your eye itches. Now your nose itches again. #seattlecoronavirus

If the CDC didn’t want me to touch my face they absolutely should have said “Touch your face a bunch, touch it all the time, it’s the only way to be safe”

If you’d have asked me before, “do you touch your face more than six million times per day?” I would have said, “No, I don’t believe so?” But alas!
