The fact that he is using the term sterile as a negative thing in a hospital is evidence enough that he is a genuine brain genius

Every now and then it’s important to give yourself a pat on the back for being a materialist. Literal vibes-based BS all around.

Not gonna lie there’s lots of studies that greenery really does help avoid that institutionalized white room effect and things such as ICU psychosis, but also there’s a reason why potted plants were removed from patient rooms because yeah plants can carry a ungodly amount of bacteria. Still would say the most dangerous place in a hospital are bathrooms family members use after raw dogging into Meemaws iso room without PPE.

believe this a million percent

my mom was in the hospital for a few weeks a couple years ago, and I got to see how my family members washed their hands

it was horrifying

I am early 40s, nobody under 30 spent any time in that room, they should all know better

i know just from my experience in various office work places that guys even doing a cursory rinse of their hands is about 1 in 2… and even lower worse odds they actually use soap

Having to tell family members that “no you are not allowed to go into a cdiff room without a gown and mask” and then watching them eat off their family members meal tray is one hell of an experience. Enjoy the worst satanic diarrhea y’all have ever had.

The funny thing is the aesthetic and safe option is steam punk copper rails/handles/surfaces everyetc.

Copper kill bacteria and cleans itself. But it’s not used due to costs.

The tarnish is often seen as unsanitary, though it’s not, and unsightly, so the upkeep can be a lot.
In fact a lot of brass and copper decorative fixtures are clear coated to prevent oxidation, but then they also prevent the antiseptic properties of the metal as well.

Tarnished, return to the hospital, and become Isolation Ward!

Nosocomial infections are a really big deal in hospitals too. I wouldn’t depend on copper alone to kill bacteria; how well does it deal with getting bleached down?

For the OP, if some snot-nosed child wiped his hand on the giant greenery wall, the bacteria flourished on the wall, then the AC brought a bunch of germs into an area for the immunocompromised then you’re not gonna have a good time

What is it about western Anglo brain that makes you feel so privileged in your ignorance as to be comfortable making these grandiose and absurd statements that could truly only spring from the mind of a simpleton?

Imo it’s the individualist dogma of everyone being entitled to their opinion and the associated implication that everyone’s opinion is valid and worth hearing.

I read this, and I’m suddenly realizing that I’ve never truly felt entitled to my own opinion, but also have never felt like anybody’s opinion really matters, and that explains a lot of why I don’t get along in society.

I’m a stupid dumbass. Why doesn’t everybody else also realize and admit what a fucking idiot they are?
