Ever single cleaning thing (soap, laundry stuff, furniture cleaning, etc) kills 99.9% of bacteria, if I listen to commercials. Been that way all my life. They still can't get rid of that .1%. Should I be worried?
Though this reminds me of the dude interviewed by Jon Stewart who talked about giving doctors a checklist of the things to do while doing surgery and stuff (I assume it'd mean proper cleaning techniques). I wonder if that could prevent this stuff from happening some.
Inorite? I'm terrible. I didn't realize it was a joke post.
There are ways to prevent it, although the basic problem (keeping everything clean and disinfected) is hard to avoid. The alternative is worse, so far.
Haha it's quite okay. That was really an interesting article so I don't mind.
I think I'm quite in favor of the check list. The part where more doctors said they'd want a doctor treating them to use it more than they were willing to use it themselves sold me on it.
Naw, that 99% thing is just a way to cover their asses if someone comes back with a lawsuit saying it didn't kill all the germs because if it did, then their dirty ass kid wouldn't have caught a cold, etc etc.
Hm - I'm not actually sure that would happen that often. However, I am sure that people probably internalize the 99.9% and buy. Or would, if every single ad didn't claim it. I'm inclined to blame lazy marketing.
Well, my thing on it is that nothing takes care of something else 100%. To claim 100% would open the grounds up for companies to easily discredit you. And yes...if people found a way to sue someone, it would happen quite often. We just don't think it'll happen because we grew up in a 99.99% world, not a 100% world.

In hospitals, though? There's some risk.

I take it as an avoidance to false advertising.
