1. La persistente falta de higiene básica en espacios públicos.
Muchos usuarios expresan asombro y frustración ante la cantidad de personas que han abandonado los hábitos de limpieza adquiridos, especialmente el lavado de manos tras usar baños públicos.
- It always struck me how during the pandemic just how many people i saw leave a bathroom without washing their hands. And i dont even mean soap and water i mean just dead ass left the bathroom.
- Nothing proves to me more that weve memory-holed the pandemic than grown-ass adults still walking out of the bathroom without washing their goddamn hands.
- The number of men who still dont wash their hands in public restrooms following a global pandemic is too damn high.
2. El debate sobre la transmisión aérea frente al contacto con superficies.
Existe una reflexión crítica sobre cómo el énfasis inicial en desinfectar superficies y lavarse las manos pudo distraer de la realidad de que el virus se transmite principalmente por el aire.
- If handwashing mattered more than breathing shared air, the pandemic wouldve ended in march 2020. Soap wouldve been the miracle cure.
- I know airborne transmission turned out to be a bigger issue than touching stuff, but diligent hand-washing is one habit ive continued since the earliest days of the pandemic.
- Didnt help that the government pushed the hand washing thing for so long at the beginning of the pandemic. It gave me the impression that the virus could live for a long time on surfaces like door handles and counter tops.
3. Cambios en las interacciones sociales y el contacto físico.
La pandemia alteró normas tradicionales como el apretón de manos, impulsando alternativas como el choque de codos o el distanciamiento personal, aunque algunos lamentan el regreso a las viejas costumbres.
- I stopped shaking peoples hands. Ive see men stop washing their hands, when they vigorously washed it during the pandemic.
- Im glad the pandemic normalized fist bumps so i dont have to shake anyones poopy hands.
- Whos still doing handshakes in this year of the lord post-pandemic? seriously, thats one custom i do not miss from pre-pandemic.
4. Secuelas psicológicas y comportamientos obsesivos.
Para una parte de la población, la crisis sanitaria derivó en una hiperconciencia de los gérmenes, desarrollando tics o comportamientos compulsivos relacionados con la limpieza.
- Since the start of the pandemic, ive had a slightly-obsessive slightly-compulsive. Thing about keeping my hands clean. I suspect many other people have developed a similar issue.
- A nervous tick i developed because of the pandemic is that i smell the soap in my hands before washing them to make sure i can still smell.
- I had quite bad contamination ocd at the start of the pandemic and yeah no thanks, do not want that again.
5. El ingenio y la escasez de suministros de desinfección.
Los testimonios recuerdan los días de escasez donde se recurrió a la fabricación casera de desinfectantes y al uso de productos inusuales para mantener la higiene.
- Just randomly remembered that part of the pandemic where people were posting instructions online for how to make hand sanitizer out of vodka.
- At the beginning of the pandemic i bought a giant jug of cheap gin in case i should find that everyone i loved had died and i needed to drink myself to death and two years later i used it to wash ink out of all my underwear.
- My favorite thing that came from the pandemic is even we needed more hand sanitizer and random distilleries were chipping in. So hand sanitizer smelled like whiskey and tequila for a bit.
