the trouble with that is that there are people who think Trump and Bolsonaro are serious leaders with successful covid policies
Presumably you dont think people should be following their public health advice?
The OP was about how hand sanitiser is ineffective in stopping the spread of coronavirus btw. Do you agree with that?

"The OP was about how hand sanitiser is ineffective in stopping the spread of coronavirus btw" you're twisting my words here, to suit your own argument. again in black and white: if you breath in the virus, hand sanitiser is not going to help you. it does help overall, because it mitigates infection through touching the virus, but alas the vast majority of infections are contracted by breathing. So like I said in March it's not going to have "a big impact". meaning: If we all go about our business with no social distancing and have very clean hands: it's not going to do fuck all to stop the spread by itself . Again, I don't know how much clearer I can show you the truth of the matter.

If you think ranting on here will do any good, then so is yours

Trump supporters are probably the same ones who protested against the lockdown and broke the rules in other ways anyway.
I don't think people should be following *some* of the UK government's advice when it contradicts or falls short of international standards.
The initial lack of a quarantine on international travel was insane, but now we are the most infected country in Europe we impose quarantine on people entering from countries with lower infection rates, and impose no quarantine on our own citizens leaving this infected hellhole. The government has announced more changes to the quarantine rules today, just to add to the confusion.
The 'support bubble' scheme is a shambles, even I have friends who have been bubbling people who don't live alone. The bubble system combined with the 7 day 2 households overnight rule is a boolean nightmare.
The 7 day isolation rules have always struck me as weird compared to the WHO standard 14 days.
The 2 meter rule was actually better than the international 1m standard, which is why it's so frustrating to have it watered down to "1m plus."
Soap and water are preferable to hand sanitiser, that has always been the official advice. Over-use of hand sanitiser can dry and split your skin, providing more potential points of infection. Unless there are extenuating circumstances (e.g. you, or someone you are caring for has a compromised immune system) I'd only use it when soap and water aren't available.
When I need to go shopping I wear vinyl gloves and wash my hands before and after. I carry a simple mask in case it is not possible to maintain 2m, and I have a more heavy duty active carbon filter mask for when I know I'm going to be in a crowded situation.
Sorry for the wall of text.
