I want to show everybody how fast germs can spread by contact and how important it
is to wash your hands and be very aware of what you touch especially before touching
your face your mouth your eyes or your food the way I'm going to set this up is pretend
that I'm sick and I just sneezed into my hand then I'm going to grab the doorknob open the
door and enter the garage area but I'm going to be using a non-toxic UV dye in place of
the spray that would have been in my hand then I'm just going to start my work day and
this is a pretty realistic scenario if somebody was sick and I've seen it happened so many
times where they sneeze and then grab the doorknob and then somebody else comes right
behind them today we're working as a smaller crew it's just going to be me and the two
girls I work with I told them that all we're doing today is picking up some shots for this
turbo diesel engine and this full gauge project and that's pretty much it they have no knowledge
of what's going on I'm going to let them show up just start their daily routine work about
4 hours up until lunch time then I'm going to tell them what I'm up to we're going to
pull out the cameras and the UV light and go around the entire compound to see just
how far this has spread and just a four hour time period
Amongst three people let's see what happens let the test begin it's been 4 hours time
for the backlight now this is how my compound is laid out we have multiple areas and multiple
floors everything is separated by doors everywhere so there's door knobs and handles everywhere
and the bathroom is in a different building altogether I'll be starting out in the garage
with our assistant camera girl's hands as clean as she thought her hands were everywhere
turned out that this stuff got everywhere on the palms of her hands the back of her
hands on the back of her hands on the phone on the front of the slate on the back of the
slate on the erasable marker and even on the pen now on to the cell phone which nobody
is supposed to be using but these things happen there's contamination on the power button
and the charge and the charging port underneath now on to the camera department which I must
say was pretty clean overall there was mostly contamination just on the camera and a couple
other areas like the battery bags the lens bag and the production bag but that was about
it and the last thing in the garage that I want to look at is my cup that I use for water
the fact that my cup lit up like a Christmas tree wasn't surprising to me because this
stuff was all over my hands next we're going to move on into the buildings which are all
the door knobs and the bathroom area in the studio as you can see it's all over that door
knob that's the second door this is the third exterior door as you can see it's all over
the handle there not too bad on the numbersnot too bad on the numbers so maybe they left
the door open a couple times it's all over that handle it's all over the door jamb that's
probably where they grabbed the door to close the door and then it's all over the interior
where they grabbed the door to open the door when they were exiting those were pretty much
all of the entrance doors next up is the bathroom the first thing that I want to take a look
at in here are the switches which is the first thing that everybody touches when they come
into the bathroom even though the light is automatic let's take a look at the light switches
my light switches are super contaminated so the next person that comes in here is definitely
getting sick then we're going to look at the sink first thing I want to see is a faucet
handles the whole faucet looks overall pretty clean except for that spot on the cold water
right thereso I'm guessing somebody used the cold water to wash their hands next the toilet
and there's a spot right there where somebody opened the lid there's a hotspot there and
also I'm guessing where they go to flush the toilet which is that little button there you
go bam right there and the last thing I want to see in the bathroom is the last thing everybody
grabs which is the handle to get out of the bathroom not to get in the bathroom to get
in the bathroom you just have to push on the exterior but you have to grab the handle to
get out well there you go if that was a virus it would have spread everywhere that somebody
would normally touch in a matter of 4 hours amongst three people give it more time and
more people and it would have spread even further all it takes is for somebody to come
alongtouch one of those surfaces and then touch their eyes nose or mouth and more than
likely they're getting sick now you can get a really good idea for why proper and frequent
hand-washing is so important as well as paying attention to the items that you touch and
what you touch after you wash your hands to keep your hands clean I hope this video helps
you avoid getting sick by giving you a good example of how viruses and germs spread by
contact so quickly and so thoroughly and if you have a friend of yours who doesn't believe
in frequent and proper hand-washing be sure to share this video with them and show them
why they're wrong hopefully I gave you something to think about that's going to help you tell
me what you think in the comments below share your opinion and hit that like button and
I'll see you next time
