When are we going to start talking about other diseases that place people in the hospital and kill them? Why did CDC change their metric for how COVID impacts communities? I currently work in an emergency room and daily see people that have not been educated by the public health system and now so many distrust the CDC that the powers that be need to start educating better, no scaring the public. Sneezing into your elbow, washing hands, hand sanitizer all should have been a thing at Wal-Mart decades ago. Water fountains look like a place to spread disease and they have been around longer than I have been. None of this is new but is nothing was pushed in society until COVID.

The elbow thing's been a thing for a while....I used it to teach my grandkids AND in my infectious disease training classes from 00s on...if you read up on Simmelweiss, look how long it took for hand-washing to catch on! I taught OSHA BBP std training from it's inception through my 2nd retirement in 2013, and folks didn't "believe" it's importance, nor the importance of Hep B vax. My momma taught us to wash our hands and that was in the 60s. I passed that along to 2 more generations (Sing your ABCs) It's appalling to go into a public restroom and hear people carry on conversations on their cell phones, leave the RR without washing hands or not washing correctly. As a random UA NCO, female (additional duties as assigned) through 1995, routinely had female nurses & docs pee in a cup, pass it over to me AND Leave THE LATRINE WITHOUT WASHING THEIR HANDS
