      I genuinely thought this was a satire of extreme Covid precaution when I first saw it. But people are saying it's real??https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/09/09/sterilize-eyelids-soap-nostrils/ …

      "I start each morning by taking my temperature with an infrared thermometer and my oxygen level w/ my oximeter. I check the conjunctival tissue in my eyes in the mirror; examine my feet for covid-19 toes, which are skin lesions or bumps. I take a quick whiff of something smelly."

      "I sanitize the car’s indoor and outdoor door handles, steering wheel, gear shift and radio buttons before I turn the air conditioner off and open the front and back windows during the trip so anything left will hopefully fly away."

      "A friend of mine who worked for Pfizer told me that as long as I’m buying the soap, I should stick some up into each nostril and wash it out a bit. He also suggested isopropyl alcohol, not to drink, but to dip a Q-Tip in & then gently move it around the inside of each nostril."

      Replying to @AlecMacGillis

      Wow. This isn’t even hygiene theater. I’m not going to armchair diagnose her specifically, but there’s a lot of OCD that’s being folded into infection control and publishing this is a disservice both to infection control and people’s mental health challenges in a strained time.
