Hand sanitizer breeds super bugs. I never use the stuff. Just wash my hands with soap and water. When I can't wash my hands, I just do not touch my face. Actually, I have gotten into the habit of not ever touching my face with my bare hands. This prepares me for when I have no access to soap and water. I don't care where I am, I will use the inside of my blouse/shirt to touch my face for what ever reason.
I have practiced this since the very beginning of the warnings of how to keep ourselves safe from this virus. There was a video posted on this forum of an ER physician who explained, very calmly, how to keep ourselves safe through this pandemic. He said he felt empowered by the information he passed on to everyone. A couple weeks after I initially saw the video, bits of it were shown on the news as the video had gone viral. The only time I touch my face with my bare hands is in the shower.
