According to a new poll on SWNSDigital.com, 42% of Americans say the pandemic has turned them into a "germaphobe." And we now wash our hands an average of nine times a day.
We've relaxed about some stuff though. People were asked to name things they did at the start of the pandemic but DON'T do anymore. Here are the top answers...
1. Changing your clothes as soon as you get home. Half of people who did it early in the pandemic have stopped.
2. Sanitizing your groceries. 48% don't do it anymore.
3. Sanitizing packages or mail, 44%.
4. Carrying hand sanitizer at all times. 31% have relaxed about it.
5. Immediately washing fruits and vegetables when you get home from the store, 29%.
6. Constantly washing your hands, even if you haven't gone anywhere, 29%.
7. Doing everything you can to avoid touching stuff when you're out, 23%.
