Are councils robbing us of a 'magic ingredient' in the fight against coronavirus?

Councils across Queensland have been removing soap dispensers from public toilets because of safety concerns.

Dry your hands thoroughly with a paper towel, a clean hand towel or an air dryer if you are in a public toilet"These principles have been adopted to help lessen the incidences of crime, vandalism and anti-social behaviour, and to increase levels of safety for users of these facilities," the spokesperson said.

Brisbane City Council said in 2017 that it also did not provide handwash in public amenities across in its more than 2,000 parks because of vandalism of dispensers.

The free soaps that are in bath rooms are bad for you, full of harmful chemicals like parabens & SLS, so you can’t really win. Better off carrying a natural organic antiseptic spray to use after washing and drying hands.

When you see the actual level of intelligence of our political and media class, one would be foolish to rely on these people for our health and wellbeing.

Why do localgov insist on business having soap & water & yet they don’t have soap in their own buildings toilets & as the closest tier of Government to the community should know how diseases spread So irresponsible auspol wapol wanews publichealth coronavirus 6PR

Magic ingredient?

Dear ABC: please be an adult. Your headlines are getting more and more obnoxious and clickbaity.

Councils, like state and federal government, have been robbing us for ages.

'soap was the 'magic ingredient' to get viruses off your hand,' ....Think of soap and the like as a VIRUS KILLER not as dirt removal aid. Soap and detergents are TOXIC to the influenza virus but not norovirus (cruise ship virus).

There are also none in schools. Or they remain empty. We don't teach our kids hand hygiene.

BYO 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hand washing without soap is just not going to cut it

Stolen by caravaners.

No, coumcils are just robbing us generally.

It's about time people grow up, start taking responsibility for themselves & stop relying on governments to look after them. Makes more sense to get your own other than using one everybody else has handled.

Councils are a waste of space and resources.

Meanwhile....coughing & sneezing freely around others is ok? 😬😳🙄

World records coronavirus milestone as WHO warns against a 'paralysing' pandemic declarationThe number of new coronavirus cases reported outside China has exceeded the number of new ones in China for the first time. BevanShields So it's not the pandemic itself that will 'paralyse' the world but their 'declaration' of it? No wonder they tried to change the name of the virus (in vain). Just shows you how much power they have, that the paralysis of the world rests not on the virus but the 'declaration'.
