I'm behind on maintaining the meme archives. Have 140 that need filed. Catching up now.

Idea for Meme Corps.

How about we do some public health images that would remind/teach kids (and adults) that it's important to wash your hands? Make it fun. Make it cute. Make it desirable. Normalize hand washing after coughing, sneezing, using toilet.

Can we do dat?

We're not going to stop a novel virus from spreading throughout the population if it's gonna, but a realistic goal is to lower the RATE of infection so that hospitals and therapeutics don't get overwhelmed with a surge of older people needing help at once. Throttle the rate so that the medical system can handle it gracefully and save moar lives.

Handwashing and social distancing will slow the spread of disease (and is a healthy idea under any circumstances, anyway).
