#2 Health watchdogs are so concerned they intend to meet with NHS bosses in the New Year to try and hammer out a solution.

Ban people who refuse to disinfect their hands from hospitals. Problem solved.

The fact we are even debating this is a perfect demonstration of how fucking fucked we are.

#3 So they're not even allowed to TOUCH alcohol? I call bullshit on that one.

Beyond that, yeah, ban them. If they can't abide by sanitary regulations, they shouldn't be allowed in. If the PATIENTS pull the same crap, boot THEM out, too.

#4 This is dirt simple wash the hands with the goop or you can't come in. We are farked as a civilization if we let these thrid world backwards mentalities and allenist slaves take control of a public health issue because of some retarted PC type of reasoning.

#6 When I raised the matter with the nursing staff they just shrugged and said that Muslims were refusing to use the gel because it contained alcohol.What, that makes it okay?! As a nurse this just kills me, where are the 'top honchos' to back up the proper handwashing rules!
Let the choice be theirs to please the PC crowd;
If they don't wash their hands, they shouldn't be allowed in.
Very well said SPOD, it really is amazing that we're even having to debate this.

#7 Can't get in the taxi if you have a pint. Praying??? on airplanes. Refusing to observe sanitary practices in hospitals. All symptoms of same bullshit. F**k your cab. Get off the gawddamn plane and walk. Haul the SOB's into the street before they infect the entire hospital. Stop this stupidity now.

#8 I suspect this story, as hospitals are well aware that hand sanitizer is only recommended when there is no visible contamination; otherwise, you need to wash with soap and water.

For this reason, hospitals are full of hand washing basins, which are religiously inoffensive. It would not be inconvenient at all to ask them to wash their hands in the patient's bathroom. They also have large amounts of boric acid solution, which is a fine disinfectant, and about as toxic as ordinary salt.

N.B. Ordinary soap is just as good as disinfectant soap, in fact, perhaps better, as the standard disinfectant used in soap has lost effectiveness against many pathogenic bacteria. The difference in bacteria removal from the skin is about one-tenth of one percent difference.

#9 As a former phlebomtomist, how do the muslims handle the alcohol swab prior to venipuncture? Do they insist on betadine or would they rather just have the needle stuck in without cleaning? I would make sure the needed tip had a burr on it before poking these pricks.

#11 The Phlebotomist just might deduce,
If a girl is demure from her juice,
Or if she's a tart,
She's dumb or she's smart,
But it helps if her tongue it is loose.
