I don't see other people doing this. Perhaps this is how so many people are still getting infected.

Just a thought.
We are a few months in with this pandemic. One of the very first guidelines we Americans were instructed to do was to wash our hands very frequently and DON'T TOUCH OUR FACE. I would hope all intelligent adults at this point have trained themselves to not touch their face unless they have freshly washed hands.

When I'm out and about, I use the inside of my shirt to "scratch" an itch on my face. My bare hands do not come in contact with my nose, eyes or mouth EVER.....even in my own home and even after I have just washed my hands. If I keep my hands away from my face when I'm in my own home after I just washed my hands, it becomes second nature to never ever touch my face with my bare hands.
