60% don't wash their hands

Sad but true. Most people in supposedly "clean and tidy" Germany don't wash their hands after using the restroom. Others sneeze into their left hand, only to find themselves hanging from the bus handle a minute later using the same hand. Not to mention people with any kind of contagious disease. Pathogens are easily transmitted through a simple handshake or even by sharing objects.

The simple solution: wash your hands, especially after using public transportation, using the restroom, and contacting sick people, for example. It's remarkable that such a thing even needs to be mentioned. Unfortunately, most people simply don't know anything about basic hygiene.
