Sanitizer is simply inferior to soap. Professionals in waste, food prep, and healthcare should really never use sanitizer, they should just provide sinks and so

  i actually generally agree with that assessment, although i can see instances where sanitizer can be useful, like changing a series of diapers at a daycare, or servers at a restaurant.

    Those seem like places where hand sanitizer only would be especially inapropriate. Pretty sure that food prep people using only hand sanitizer would be a healthcode violation in many places (e.g. some googling found https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/agriculture-seafood/food-safety/good-agricultural-practices/1-2-hand-washing https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/agriculture-seaf... )

  In healthcare settings hand sanitizer can actually be superior to soap and water: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/rr/rr5116.pdf#page=19 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/rr/rr5116.pdf#page=19
