Same goes for the Land of the Rising Sun.

Ahead of their times. How many lives could have been saved by now?

I just read the paper in JAMA (http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1873637) and found the paper to be completely baseless and the comparison to smoking to be absolutely ridiculous. Most of the information cited in this paper was based off studies in hospitals versus the clinical setting, where hospitals are notorious for nonsocial infections and patients are already sick and often severely immunocompromised (hi Race!). Most of the interventions that could be used in the hospital require a stronger emphasis on hand-hygiene, especially going in and out of patient rooms for all people. Additionally, mortality from smoking is often derived from cancer (or COPD) whereas mortality from handshaking is in the form of infections, something that's treatable albeit expensive. To say it'll have as massive an impact as doctors refusing handshakes warrants a huge belly laugh in the media room. And without any experimentation versus controls in the clinical setting, this paper is just a weak attempt at solving a problem rather than addressing the root cause of poor hand-hygiene in hospitals.

I hope UCLA DIAFF. This is worse than the Hundley Enforcer video.

So it sounds like you will continue to rub mens' hands against yours...even ones who refuse to wash after peeing. I hope to never cross paths, nor unintended swords with you.

You're a twister. Don't go twisting my words.

That's my stance. What's yours?
