I was asked to use a hand sanitiser this morning.

Wash hands for 20 minutes at least once every 20 seconds.     

That's the best you can do in order to keep your hygiene.
But the rest of us work on jobs that you are not able to leave or stop your job and go to wash your hands. Even if this happens, we should avoid touching our face with the dirty hands though.

Note that, hand sanitizers have all kinds of poisons in them. These are absorbed into the body through the skin. Even if we found a cure for CV, by the time it's over, people will be in  the hospital for cancer, etc., cause by the poisons in hand sanitizers.

Sanitizers are far better for being shielded from viruses you're right, it's not right to the touch the face using sanitizer It contains tons of alcohol so it is often very harmful to the mouth. But it's excellent news that I used to be asked to use hand sanitizer within the office. Great for shielding your health.

So I can tell you that sanitizers are completely useless. We had an outbreak in one of the hospitals (central Europe) and I had second hand information from someone who works there.
They were being tested every week for covid and were wearing full protective gear at all times with all patients that included double gloves, face mask s with eye protection, double suits with disposable outside covers and so on. The dictoirs did not even touch patients they always kept safe distance and only nurses were doing everything under supervision.
One week they found out that half of the staff was infected, they didn't even know about it, had no fever, nothing. They were sent to quarantine for 3 weeks and came back feeling fine. This was about a month ago.
IMO a sanitizer doesn't work at all, just like face masks. You might already be infected and not even know it.
From what I've heard they had 37*C so not even a real fever and felt tired for 2-3 days, like you are when you catch a cold.

Wash your hands with sanitizers more often, so that you absorb more poisons into your body through your skin, so that your immune system becomes weak trying to find off the poisons, so that you can catch Covid more easily.

I've been visiting Somerset in the van for a few days, and last night I stayed in a picnic area and truck stop. This morning I went into the cafe for an early morning coffee, and I was offered a bottle of hand sanitiser, and asked to use some. This is obviously as a result of the Coron Virus appearing in the UK. I had no problem with complying, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Far more of a problem could be the communal use of the 'loos in my opinion.

In my country the hand sanitizer are a must in every market or caffe. I'm not saying that it doesn't help but it just kill few bacterias on your hands. I don't think it will actually stop the virus or something, but I think it is a personal thing if you are going to use it or not. On the other side, someone with really dirty hands can cause some new disease or something. So, I'm not really sure what should I think about that.

Thats how we are advised to wash hands almost all the time and use alcohol,social distancing 1meter away from each other.We will take the necessary precautions to keep our life and family safe from those deadly virus.

[BADecker]

They have it all wrong. We're supposed to gargle with it.     

[HEvangelista]

Here in our country hand sanitizer is available in all establishment. I also bring hand sanitizer when I go out to buy food and go to ATM. You will never know when you will be infected by the virus. Its better to be safe than sorry.

[Subbir]

You're right, we usually come in contact with a lot of things when we go out a lot without our knowledge in which case hand sanitizer plays a very effective role  this enables us to simply disinfect our hands. And be ready to affect the infection of the virus we should always all take this precaution and everybody should be advised to use it it is a good idea to remain safe Everyone will use hand sanitizer to stop the virus keeping in mind themselves and their families.

[BADecker]

Why do we use hand sanitizers? Because they supposedly poison Covid to death.

Is there anybody else the hand sanitizers are poisoning to death.

Go ahead. Use them. Weaken your immune system with them. You will never be able to avoid all the Covid. When your immune system is weakened from the hand sanitizers, you will catch Covid a lot easier.
