Mythbusters had an episode that used science to show that those electric hand dryers just blow viruses and bacteria into the air. If you want Covid, use one of those. The show claimed you’re better off drying your hands on one of those old tug-and-pull cloth towel machines.
@jeffjarvis These are people with too much time.
@jeffjarvis What's worth noting isn't the topic (which is, as you suggest, banal) but the perspective: someone who is a frequent flyer who can't afford to waste even a few seconds in an airport washroom. It's 'those of us who have means' looking down on the rest of us. Non-paywall version: https://archive.ph/eAkwu

What an apt metaphor: Fascism? They wash their hands of it. 🤷🏻♂️
