I mean it seems obvious but still amazing to think that something as simple as washing your hands and not touching your face may do a WHOLE LOT to minimize you getting sick or at least the worst of the disease. Unless you walk into someone's recent sneeze/cough cloud or something, it seems all the research shows the most common transmission is touching the face. Say if you have a shyt ton of the virus on your hands, if you just make sure not to unconsciously touch your face before you get to wash your hands then either you'll be straight or just get a little bit of the virus and only get a little ill. Just doing that will probably minimize how much, if any, viral load you get.
I know that a lot of people who have become new neat freaks and OCD about being clean. In my house, we now wash our hands every time we step into the house from outside or touch something from someone we don't know, like a package. We throw the package away outside after opening it outside and then come in and wash our hands. Multiply that by millions of people and we could be flattening the curve significantly just from that. Combine that with social distancing and like that article about Seattle, we could conquer this easily. People just need to learn to stop going to the fukking beach, church, and having parties in the mean time.
