Q: How germ-free do you try to be in China?
I once saw a woman wearing a face mask, a hoody draped over her head with a big coat and plastic bags over her hands riding the subway. I didn't get the feelling that she was sick, but the opposite, that she didn't want to get sick.
How far do you go?

Germs cannot kill me. I do wash hands as often as reality allows, and I think it was on this site I read the "no hands above shoulders" rule (basically never touch your face)
I am the proud owner of PM2.5 masks for the family. Not that they are used every day. I think when you see people with facemasks they are trying to avoid car exhaust, not that the typical choice of surgical mask can do anything about that.
As Scandinavian - I too wash my hands frequently...and automatically when I return home.I also carry a small bottle of Dettol hand sanitizer which I was happy to find is sold in Watson's...and use this too.
