Re: Covid 19 and hand washing
Lol, as long as you wipe them. Perhaps we should spread a rumour that wiped cans are lucky cans, in the interests of health and safety
The percentage of lucky cans will be the same, but some people will see cause and effect, so will wipe their cans systematically. Win-win.

seems pp is out of water most of the day so most people wont be able to wash their hands anyway

Re: Covid 19 and hand washing
I'm pretty pissed off with my water supply. It only comes on between 11.00 PM and 5.00 AM. The owner stuck in a pump about a year ago but the imbeciles downstairs burned it out in no time as they run a laundry and ran the thing 24/7. They are moving out soon so hopefully it will be better afterwards. It totally sucks.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

They came from the back alley where they were stored and numerous dogs pissed on them.....Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 8:24 pmI'd say you should ALWAYS wipe the top of the can with a clean tissue (or t-shirt if necessary ) before drinking cans out of red boxes. Minimum precaution. I wipe my cans by habit anyway. Even if they are in a fridge now, who knows where they came from.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 7:37 pmSpeaking of which, the insides of those red boxes you buy beer from are frequently filthy anyway, and once the ice starts to melt, the cans are swimming in murky water. Makes you think twice about drinking from the can. Maybe rinse it first. The coronavirus might not survive the cold temperature but who knows what might. Ugh.

It could well be that the lack of clean hands has strengthened the average Cambodian's immune system to the point that the virus is unable to make an impact here.

That's what the beer girls are for. They never ash their hands, but they'll wipe your canAnchor Moy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 8:24 pmI'd say you should ALWAYS wipe the top of the can with a clean tissue (or t-shirt if necessary ) before drinking cans out of red boxes.

Re: Covid 19 and hand washing
And wiping the can with a tissue is going to eradicate all bacteria? Don't think so. The worst case of food poisoning I had in the KoW was from a can of iced coffee on the way from SR to Kep, I am sure.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 8:24 pmI'd say you should ALWAYS wipe the top of the can with a clean tissue (or t-shirt if necessary ) before drinking cans out of red boxes.

As for washing hands, Europeans are not doing too well either:
And before the Americans start gloating: only 66% of Americans wash their hands after using the bathroom.

Re: Covid 19 and hand washing
Now the CDC says instead of washing hands in soap and water, wash in acetone. That definitely kills corona virus. Could be a sales opportunity.
