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.

Donald Trump has blocked numerous sanctions on Russia two days before they were due to take effect, as a row with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky deepens.
The sanctions were passed by the US Congress and signed into law by Trump in September.
But the US president issued an executive order on Friday night saying that suspending some was in the US “national interest”, prompting a backlash from US lawmakers.
It comes after the White House said Katie Zacharia is “transitioning out” of the role of press secretary just days after taking the job.
The US president said on Friday he suggested to Zacharia she should “reconsider” the job.

Hundreds arrested in violent protests across France as buildings burned and looted | BBC News
There have been violent clashes between protesters and police in French cities, during the latest day of demonstrations against education standards and the cost of living.
At least 400 people were arrested during what the French government described as an “escalation in violence”, as more than 500,000 people took to the streets.
In Paris riot police used tear gas and water cannon on crowds. Buildings were set alight in the capital and other areas, including in Limoges where a large fire broke out in the town hall.
There was looting in several cities, with widespread vandalism against city halls and businesses. In Lyon the city’s tourist office was burned. Police said “hostile individuals” prevented firefighters from tackling the blaze.
The interior ministry said the protests involved “targeted acts of violence” from “hooded individuals” in places, including parts of the capital and also Marseille, Rennes, Toulouse and Angers. Damage to buildings was reported across France, including in Grenoble, Avignon, Pau, Montpellier and Valence.
Hundreds of thousands of students have protested in recent weeks over staff shortages and dilapidated facilities in the country’s lycées – secondary schools attended by 15 to 18-year-olds. They were joined in the latest protests by trade union members and other protest groups. These included the so-called gilets jaunes ‘yellow vest’ movement, who demonstrated against cost-of-living hikes for over a year from 2018.
The protests come as Frances faces a period of deep political uncertainty. President Emmanuel Macron will leave office next year and polls suggest April’s presidential election could come down to a fight between the leader of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the hard-left La France Insoumise party.

The jury in Russell Brand’s rape trial won’t see a TV documentary that a complainant says led her to come forward.
Judge Mr Justice Bennathan said it would be unfair to show the Channel 4 Dispatches programme because the allegations it contains have not been tested in court, but said that jurors will hear about it during the trial.
The 51-year-old actor and comedian faces seven charges – three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.
The allegations, made by six female complainants, span a 10-year period between 1999 and 2009. He denies the charges.

There have been sobering warnings this week from MI5, the UK’s AI Minister and a number of security officials – AI is already a threat to our lives.
But despite those fears, innovation and AI development continues at breakneck speed.
So this week on AI Decoded we focus in on that central question of AI – should we accelerate the development of ever more powerful AI systems, or slow down before the risks become unmanageable?
It’s the question at the centre of a major new film, Artificial, which explores the growing divide between OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever over the answer.
To discuss it all, Marc Cieslak and Dr Stephanie Hare are joined by technology futurist Bernard Marr and AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy, one of the world’s leading voices on the risks posed by superintelligent AI.

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

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.
