Hand washing

      Here's the wiki link on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_washing

            None of this idea  is rocket science.

            Our ancestors did it, and so can we, if we want to, and feel and believe the need to practice this simple habit.

            My sales pitch is that it is a good idea, whether times get hard, remain the same good times we enjoy today, or become some other variation. It's kind of like sneezing into your sleeve as another method to retarding communicable  diseases. That works, too.

            If we all do it (like hand wash), we can nip about most communicable diseases in the bud, or so I believe.

            Of course there are many other diseases adverse to we humans. Many are mosquito borne, others are even rat and mouse and flea borne. It's a rough disease world out there. These diseases that kill have to live to, I both guess and believe.

            The good news is that we humans are smart, and will do our best to fight all these possible contagions;  though we will take casualties along the way, which will be sad to many of us that our dead occur among us.

            So let's start with hand washing, as best we can. Even if it is just with water and scrubbing, the soap not being available during hard times in your situation.
