Not wiping your ass properly and washing your hands can absolutely spread disease. I think we need a license for using public toilets.

Yeah, so you might manage to spread the flu through secondary contact and that wouldn't be great. It's not as bad as spreading lice, or several serious bacterial or fungal infections that can do a lot of damage.

We should also really encourage people to wash their hands because that's super important, especially in environments like hospitals and daycares.

We have restaurant food and safety inspections as the non-hyperbolic implementation of this as applied to preparers.

Fine, which is good, but none of those restaurant workers had to go through hundreds/thousands of hours of training to get licensed.
