I went from washing my hands when dirty, when arriving home, after using the bathroom or when arriving to the office, to doing all that plus using the hand sanitizer at the entrance of my office floor every time I walk by even if I only left to go to another floor for a second.
I've perhaps increased the frequency by a bit but I've definitely increased the time I spend washing my hands each time.
Well I goto the bathroom like 3-4 times a day does that mean I'm a frequent hand washer? Plus before I eat.
But I don't randomly wash my hands, still don't.

Anecdote time: currently at the Broadway show for les mis and every man in the bathroom looked like he was a surgeon prepping for an operation
I used to wash them often but I changed the way I washed them now. Now I actually wash them for a good 20 seconds.
use to, I'd just wash my hands when I touched dirty surfaces, took out garbage, went to the restroom, and once every hour or so.
Now every time I touch a door, a box, or anything, i sanitize immediately after I don't have to touch it again in addition to the above.

Not really. I work from home so there isn't much need to change my daily hand washing routine. I do wash my hands now after arriving home such as after grocery shopping, though, when in the past I didn't.
Yeah this is me. I touch my face alot. Never noticed until now
I've feared norovirus all my life so I've been a heavy hand washer forever so nothing has changed.
Not really. I'm just using more hand sanitizer at work. I wash enough, and if I wash them too much I get eczema.
I'm a nurses aid working in the country home so I already was pretty aggressive with hand washing and making sure not touch my eyes or put things directly in my mouth
Not really. I wash my hands enough, I'd say the right amount of hand-washing. Though I guess my hand washing has increased a bit recently but that's because of pollen season and how bad my eyes and sinuses get if I touch something like my car and then touch my face.
Definitely am washing more often and using hand sanitizer more often. When I come home I will wash my hands now whereas before it wasn't always the case. But I actually realize now that the human skin doesn't let a lot of deadly germs live on it for very long either, like flu germs can only live on your hands for about five minutes.
Which probably makes sense, if the human skin was a large scale conduit for disease and illnesses, it's unlikely human beings would've made it this long.
But still I am more aware of not touching my face with my fingers, especially if they've been in contact with something else within the last 10 minutes or so.
I'm honestly more concerned with my smartphone being a carrier of germs/flu/corona.

I used to wash my hands frequently but now I don't and instead spend my time grabbing everything including other people's faces.
