Excerpt:

The next time a business or local government builds a public bathroom, it should consider putting the sink outside, near the entrance. The resulting social pressure would cause almost all men and women to wash their hands. Washing your hands may be boring, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes it as the “do-it-yourself vaccine.” It’s one of the most effective ways everyday people can fight the spread of infectious disease.

Thank you for posting this. I get tired of seeing the posts on the coming post antibiotics apocalypse where everyone (on HN, of all places) bitches and moans and points fingers but won't discuss actual practical solutions. This looks practical. And do-able. It isn't something crazy, like the jillion dollar designer drugs being developed for my condition.
