Coronavirus: Why we touch our faces and how to stop it – BBC News
Several medical officials across the world have warned people to avoid touching their face as a key way to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Often when issuing the warning, they’ve gone on to – you guessed it – put their hands on their face.
But why do we touch our faces in the first place? And is it that easy to just stop doing it all of a sudden?
We spoke to psychologist Natasha Tiwari.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has reversed his threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping, as the US battles to break Iran’s hold on the waterway.
He said the toll would be replaced by trade and investment deals with Gulf states, just hours before the US resumes a blockade of Iranian ports.
It follows renewed strikes between the US and Iran, which triggered a sharp rise in oil prices as tanker traffic through the Strait has virtually stalled.

Sorry but this is completely inconsistent and inept. When we think or are told, 'don't touch your face,' we immediately want to touch our faces. I used to teach this to middle and high school students. In a class of 15 year olds, almost always, two students will immediately touch their faces. Not to be funny or out of defiance, they just lack the self-control, or have five minutes less of it than adults.. The expert says we touch our faces to self-calm. Ok. But then she goes on to say don't wear make-up, use contact lenses, which are sources of contact and itching, not the need for self-calming.
For Buddhists telling someone, 'don't touch your face is like their instruction: 'Now, don't think about elephants." The trick is not to not think about elephants, that's impossible. The real trick is to think about something else. The deep brain only hears positive messages. It's almost always better to give a positive instruction than a negative. Instead of 'don't touch…' think, when my face itches, DO rub my leg.
With skin touch and pain this is easy and well known. Distraction. Rub a finger on your thigh. or on a sensitive area like your wrist. The basic principle is you can't think of two touches at the same time, so the doctor slap slap slaps the spot he's going to sink the 4" needle – and you can look right at the needle as it goes in and not feel it. Itching seems to be a completely different problem. I haven't had much success with distraction. So far what works best is either clean your hand and scratch, or take the time to wash your face, maybe moisturize.
With heating systems in the colder months, dryness, a bit of grime, our faces itch, the sides of our eyes, and nose.
The best I've been able to do is when my face itches to immediately use hand sanitizer. Then I can rub the itchy spot. Far far from ideal, but better. I do find it helpfully distracting to try to put the alcohol based Purell on my hands and then scratch an itch near my eye without getting the alcohol in my eye. For about 5 years I've been successful. I've also tried using some cortisone cream on my face as a prophylaxis against itching, but it seems to have no effect.

Right everybody here is a question if you can spread it up to 2 weeks without showing symptoms so that means you’re not sneezing and coughing well that also mean you’re just breathing it out and spreading it aerosolised so washing your hands is an absolute nonsense

Stop telling people “ Don't touch your face" Instead telling them" touch your face as many as times as you want, Covid-19 is not that serious, it will only bring you closer to God, go and touch your face"

You need to train yourself to stop doing it. You can learn by practicing endlessly at home where hopefully you should be safe. If you fail at home force yourself to go through the full hand washing routine, it will get tiresome very soon. It took me two weeks to learn to stop doing it.

I don't worry about it too much at home. It's when I'm at work or anywhere else in public I try not to touch my face. Luckily, I got some hand sanitizer before it all flew off the shelf so I just sanitize my hands before touching my face. If you don't take care of that itch, you'll probably just scratch it later when your not paying attention. If you don't have hand sanitizer, just try not to touch your face in public until you can wash your hands. The main thing is to be mindful of what you touch. If you touch something that many other people have likely touched also, then consider your hands potentially contaminated and don't touch anything you don't want contaminated until you know your hands are clean.
