Will You Use Handkerchief to Sneeze Again after coronavirus?

I personally don't use Handkerchief and has no issue with other using it. I know for a fact that Handkerchief can be clean and handy if you've good habit of using it.
Now with the pandemic going on, for Handkerchief users, will you consider continuing using it afterward? Does the virus outbreak cause any change to the way deal with hygiene. Will you use it more carefully?

  • You need a poll option that includes pocket tissues. Carry one in left rear pocket (opposite wallet in right) for such cases.

    Just don't forget to take it out when putting trousers in the wash. Speaking from experience.

    • Done :)

      If we're going with other options of wiping nose, can I suggest just wiping it on my shirt. It means less consumption of goods, not having to buy new handkerchiefs and tissues, and also if some jerk grabs me by the scruff of my shirt, he's touching my nose juice. Win Win right?

    This is a ridiculous question. Where do you think corona comes from?

    If your handkerchief has corona on it after you've sneezed into it then it's too late, you are already infected. It's only a potential risk if you share it with someone else and I don't think anyone does that.

    • unless you're into some hanky panky

    • You know how it gets more severe right? More coronavirus droplets and more virus particles.

      Your immune system can fight off small amounts of the virus, but if you keep adding to it by using a handkerchief, well I would assume soon you'll be RIP.

      The idea of facial tissues is that you discard those virus particles into the bin… If you are only using it once and then washing, then you might be safe, but multiple uses in between cleaning and you'll be stuffed.

  • hankerchiefs are for old people and funerals.

        • Unless OP’s children used their account, their posting history doesn’t indicate that they’re of school age …
