I get the point....but if we wash with soap and water, the virus germs and other germs get washed down the drain. Using a hand dryer blows water from the hands.

I get it...if you have your hands covered in germs, the germs get thrown around the restroom. So, if somebody with COVID 19 germs on their hands washes without soap, and then blows their germs all over the restroom...guess we’re just fucked.
