If the public thinks for a moment that in public places like courts and hospitals that people wash their hands after going to the restroom - bathrooms, think again!
As most know in many courts across Canada you can't bring a camera or sound recording device to court. But, you can have other things that don't but can record, like a notepad, case files, writs, evidence and support for such things but even a watch these days or watch like device like your wrist strapped on golf swing and scorer makes for an obtrusive divice to mark off what you see and of course small pads take notes. We arranged for a female and male rest rooms survey to record what was going on the public should be concerned about.
What was surveyed was how many people were given to going to the toilets in 10 minute out of per hour periods spot checks. The results were astounding and as follows:
Males: One mens bathroom on the second floor of Winnipeg's main Manitoba courtroom level. Some 56 men went to the washroom during the 10 minute spot check. 16 used a toilet, 31 went there to pee and the rest to groom their hair or similar. 41 washed and dried their hands. The other 15 did not wash or dry their hands what so ever and left the room having either groomed their hair (moustaches included) or went to the toilet they then flushed and left without washing their hands.
*Some very noted in the press Winnipeg criminal defence lawyers left without washing their hands yet very young looking well dressed by appearance lawyers did wash their hands. Most of the plain wear public comprised the biggest group that did wash their hands after defecating, urinating or sprucing up their looks.
These statistics for male restroom users are immorally appalling!
This begs the question given the poliferation of communicable diseases in the MSRA and VRE types these days in public and given the fact that this was a public courts building where such things just should not happen, should cameras be installed in each washroom of the law courts building where security should closely monitor all public, court staff and judicial restrooms where if anyone entering to use the restroom for any reason does not scrub, wash and dry their hands before leaving be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with the threatening the rest of the public with the spread of communicable diseases?
Penalties suggested by medical professionals:
*First time - $250.00 fine and costs, doctors swabbing for culturing.
*Second time -double the fine and costs, swabbing for culturing at a local hospital.
*Third time - tripple the fine, a criminal record, incarceration at the local jail for 3 days with an escoted trip to a medical institution for swabbing and culuring at a local hospital.
*Fourth time - a larger criminal record, public exposure, public ban from using public buildings, incarceration from 1 to 6 months and periodic monthly examination in escorted trips to local hospitals for swabbing anc culturing to change hygenic habits leading to normal bacterial counts of a normal level on a constant basis not unlike a standard that could be developed from people who normally wash their hands after using the washroom for any reason.
*For Fourth time and more repeaters repeat the Forth time penalties each and every repeated occurance thereafter and have the person publized as a public health hazard, with picture and reason posted on public bulletin boards at public facilities.
The following is not draconian, it was devised by medical specialists in the field worried about the spread of communicable diseases amongst the public that could be simply prevented by proper hand washing. Just what should our legislators in Manitoba's Provincial Government do?
