I usually carry a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean my hands before meals. I started doing this even before the pandemic, to avoid getting sick with the common cold.

A good number of people do this in my city: when I go on public transit, I see a fair number of commuters with a hand sanitizer bottle clipped to their bag with a carabiner. Many people also have a bottle in their pockets or purse.

After COVID, yes, that is true. People take it more seriously now (although things seem to be snapping back).

I would go out to lunch with mu coworkers and I would give out everyone wet wipes because I was the only one who had them, specifically for this.
