California Health Official Urges People Not To Touch Their Faces Before Immediately Licking Her Finger In The Ultimate Facepalm Moment

California Health Official Urges People Not To Touch Their Faces Before Immediately Licking Her Finger In The Ultimate Facepalm Moment

With all the panic about COVID-19—aka coronavirus—various PSAs about washing your hands, precautions in public places, etc... you'd think health officials would be more on top of following their own advice.

But it seems that is too difficult.


Dr. Sara Cody, the director of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department in California, was giving a press conference on best health practices when she immediately contradicted her own advice.

"Today, start working on not touching your face — because one main way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes," she said...then immediately licking her own finger.

Santa Clara county has reported eleven total cases of Coronavirus infection, and the advice was meant to stop the virus from entering your respiratory system.





It is also worth noting that people touch their faces around 23 times an hour, so breaking the habit, as highlighted by the video, is incredibly difficult.





Meanwhile the President, who loudly has to be the best at everything, has already touted that he hasn't touched his face "in weeks".





The USA has seen 11 fatalities from COVID-19, with just over 150 people showing signs of infection.

The global death toll is around 3,000 (compared with 95,000 infected), but how bad this possibly could get are yet to be determined.

The 1918 influenza pandemic killed 20,000-50,000 people and infected 500 million people. Our medical and information technologies are greatly improved, but our transportation technology is equally advanced.

Which technology impacts COVID-19 most will determine how many people are affected.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
