I am sure you know exactly what I mean, because with the spread of corona virus across the globe, health officials have been coming up with precautions and one of them is – ‘don’t touch your face’.

Which, I never knew, can be so tough. Neither did Dr. Sara Cody, director of the Santa Clara County’s Public Health Department. 

During a press conference, she was informing people about the importance of simple measures like not touching any part of your face.

Now I have an itch to touch my face, f*ck.
