    How can it spread germs if the germs are 99% gone after having washed your hands with soap? We’re assuming people aren’t washing their hands properly, right?

        Which is accurate. How often have you seen somebody spend 30 seconds washing their hands in a public restroom? For me it ain’t exactly common

          If most people even did 5-10 good seconds with soap it’d be good enough but yeah people are nasty

            There are too many people that think rinsing hands with water is enough, or that using a urinal doesn’t need hand rinsing much less washing.

            Even post-COVID, habits are too hard to break

          I wash my hands for nearly a minute. But most of that time is spent trying to get those stupid no touch faucets to work.

      Some microbes will survive the hand washing process, and need to be removed by drying. Those Dyson air blades collect germs from water from washed hands and the toilet environment, then blow the germs around. It’s gross.

      Also, Mr Dyson is a fucking dick.

        If those dryers had UV lamps, maybe one that only ran when external motion sensors detected nobody nearby, that could mitigate that problem entirely
