Has covid changed the way you see germs?

Question

For me it did, I remember I didn't give a flying fuck about germs before this shit and now I care more about germs than I used too, anyone else was effected mentally about germs because of the pandemic? Lol

No. It just made me more skeptical of what I've been told and believed all my life about viruses. I already knew that the science of this stuff is still young, and there is a heck of a lot more to learn. But COVID made me realize that we know even less than I thought we did. I suspect that it made scientists who study this stuff take a second look and question what they thought they knew.

It didn't make me care more or less about germs. I'm not the type to live in a sterile bubble and hide from the world. There are a million things that can harm you or kill you. I take what I think are reasonable precautions against the worst things, and don't worry about the rest.

Maybe my view comes from working very dangerous jobs. The danger of COVID was nothing by comparison.

I always hated being around flu ridden induvials , coughing and spluttering all over the place , that's why I was so pissed off at the ludicrous overaction to CV 19 , what a joke ! An immune system evolves , its needs exposures , all these dickheads did was kick the can down the road , kill more " other " people ( indirectly ) ..

No , I'm just the same , but was always cautious on Trains and the like , the good news is so many have been very ill here ( Post CV ) , not me , my health has never been better , and I've never worn a bullshit mask , ever.

No, like... I always washed my hands, took showers, and cared for personal hygiene. The only thing that changed was the mask I was forced to wear for two years in Berlin

Not really cuz since I never had covid, I felt like i was invincible for all germs lmao

NathanDavis · Answer

ironically... it didn't make any more wary, than I was before...

but that makes sense

most of my life, I would rather open doors with my foot, and not touch any handle that a million hands have touched before, lmfao...

Germs are too small to see. Since COVID, I now use my knuckle to tap things rather than my finger, which makes it less likely to transfer something to my face.

BCRanger10 · Answer

It changed how I view a lot of things. Germs were not among them though. I've always been very careful about washing my hands and having good hygiene and it frustrates me to no end that it took until this virus from *QUESTIONABLE ORIGIN* to pay attention to the same. Especially since that apparently wasn't how it was transmitted.

No offense intended towards you, bro.

BourbonAndBacon · Answer

Nope. I didn't wash my hands before Covid and I still don't. I never get sick. Never had a sick day at work in my life

Nikki1989 · Answer

I have always cared about germs. I am a clean freak.

genericname85 · Answer

no it hasn't, cause i saw this entire covid ordeal as what it really was. government propaganda used to gain power and increase income disparity between the wealthy and the poor. the germ fear was just the bullshit reason they used as legitimation. of course covid is as real as it was the last 50 years we've known about that disease but that doesn't warrant any of what happened around the globe...
