I guess I wash them for longer now, but I still do it regularly like before eating, when I come from work, etc.
I wash just about the same when I'm at work. The difference is that I'm much more mindful about the things I touch AFTER I wash my hands before eating. I also do use the hand sanitizer stations before the entrance gates on the 1st floor.
My main habit change has been more at home. Between taking public transit and coming home, I've likely touched a lot of nasty things. Therefore when I come home, the first thing I always do now is a wash my hands before touching anything else. Then every few days, I've been using Lysol wipes to wipe down commonly touched items like my work laptop, keyboard, mice, microwave, buttons, fridge handles, door knobs, light switches, etc.

Not so much hands washing - I already did that.
But when I get home from work or the grocery, I'll:
1. Wash my hands
2. Put away everything
3. Use disinfectant wipes on all surfaces I touched, including my keys, my CC, wallet, phone, handles, doornobs, steering wheel.
4. Wash my hands again.
5. Wait a few minutes before I pickup my phone
I sort of already did this starting last Autumn, but I've dialed it up with coronavirus. My wife has asthma, so I don't want to take any risks.
Over the last 6 months I've had not even the slightest symptoms of disease. Working from home nearly every day and nephews no longer being toddlers that will walk up and touch your eyeballs or cough in your face definitely helps too.
I also have purrrell in the car. Use it first thing getting in the car. Pickup medications, use immediately after pickup.

Same. Wash your damn hands before you eat/cook and after you use a bathroom.
We don't want those people in this thread.
Go back to the ass eating thread and filth it up with them.
Yes. I now sing Happy Birthday twice in my head while washing my hands. I never used to do that.
Well, we now have disinfectant in our office in pretty much every workspace, so i clean them multiple times during the day. Definitely more than necessary. I just like the smell...
I've been a bit more studious about washing my hands...but I don't know about that "20 seconds" thing man. I just feel like I'm abusing my skin at some point
I'm washing a bit more frequently, but I think the biggest change is I'm washing more thoroughly. Normally, I'm guilty of doing a "quick wash" pretty much every time. Now I'm taking the time to lather fully, spend the time even with foaming hand soap dispensers.
Also using hand sanitizer, for example when I get back to my desk or back to my car. And avoiding touching surfaces like door handles as much as possible.

It's not just about longer, it's about getting in-between fingers, around nails, the thumb, the backside.
I have never seen a person in public wash their hands properly. It's all about gtfo asap
I keep wipes in my car. and after a grocery trip I will use a wipe.
other than that, I usually dont touch my face and tend to wash my hands a lot

I paying more attention to how I wash my hands. Getting in between the fingers and scrubbing the tips.
Also repeating while scrubbing :
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
More appropriate than Happy Birthday.

I already washed my hands before because I'm not a nasty motherfucker. I guess I do use hand sanitizer more often now and wipe down my phone occasionally when before I didn't really think about it
Hopefully my mother will stop accusing me to "force my niece to wash her habds too often" just because she's supposed to wash it when she returns home and before she touches food as well as after additional to each time after visiting the toilette. 🤷🏻‍♀️
my mother was so mad at me when i told my niece to wash her hands when we baked cookies and she licked her fingers/sneezed into her hand.

Yep, can totally relate to that. Washed my hands frequently as well before all of this started and now my hands are getting desinfected after each touch that is making me anxious. Super dry skin already, no hand cream can save me right now (at least I try to put on a lot when I go to bad... still isn't enough).
I do that anyway. Having worked as a Blacksmith proper hand washing is something I learned early on.It's not just about longer, it's about getting in-between fingers, around nails, the thumb, the backside.

I started washing my hands all the damn time a few years ago when my son was born. I was paranoid when he was an infant. It just became habit and I still wash them probably more than necessary.
No. I already wash my hands a lot, but I have started using the hand sanitizer at work a lot in addition to washing my hands.
Yeah I've gone from "germaphobe/always wash my hands" to nearly maniac status. It's pretty nuts. I have to keep moisturizing them lol
I use hand sanitizer at work so often I had to start moisturizing. All that alcohol on top of the cold dry winter air was not good. The bad thing is that the moisturizer is probably great for the growth of germs.
I've already been washing my hands at a frequency and intensity where it's probably too much, so if anything I'm already in clean freak territory.
Not at all. I have a lot of pets, so I always wash my hands carefully every time I enter the house.
No, not at all. I wash my hands when I was on the toilet or when I shower, obviously, that's it.
