Can you see how germs spread? Kind of--Mark Rober

He simulates how germs spread and shows how thoroughly you need to wash your hands:

First they came for the toilet paper, but I did not speak out, because I had toilet paper.
Then they came for hand sanitizer, but I did not speak out, because I do not use hand sanitizer.
Then they came for bottled water, but I did not speak out, because I didn't want bottled water.
Then they came for digital thermometers, but I didn't speak out, because I did not need a digital thermometer.
Then they came for meat and bread, but I did not speak out, because I did not need meat or bread.

New Jersey may be responsible for expiration dates on water bottles, but they may be redeeming themselves by passing a law to make it illegal to return hoarded food, claiming that they could be spreading coronavirus. The CDC says that it is unlikely, but I am satisfied with that excuse:

Quote:
The ban would include dairy products, meat and produce, most drinks, toilet paper, household cleaning items and even health and beauty products.

The first offense would result in a maximum fine of $10,000 and the second a maximum fine of $20,000, according to the bill.
Trying to return the food you hoarded for coronavirus? New N.J. bill would make it illegal.

Sorry, there is a paywall, but I couldn't find another article about it.

About my brother, he can barely talk, he values dollar bills, but I do not believe that he understands the difference between a one, five, etc., and coins do not seem to matter to him. Mom always talks about him reading, but I do not believe that he can.

He unloads the dishwasher on his own, but we need to remind him to wash his hands first, and supervise him. We also supervise his baths and help him shave. He should be fine going for walks by himself, but the police forced him to his knees without accusing him of anything.

I do not have any idea what kind of idiot would see my brother's typical autistic behaviors and think that hopping on his toes, flapping his hands, and autistic screeching is criminal behavior.

He does pretty well with his iPad, but if he is upset, he refuses to tell us what he wants.

We need to guess.

I am always excited to see him when I come home from work or he comes home from his day program, although he does not appreciate the hugs.
