Who was giving public health advice to wash your hands that much if you are barely leaving the house? Sounds more like user error (i.e. washing their hands at home despite there not being a reason to because health authorities assumed people would not do that at home)

Sounds more like user error (i.e. washing their hands at home despite there not being a reason to because health authorities assumed people would not do that at home) Consideration of manner of an advice and how it is interpreted by different people is a common component of public health and medical advice or even drug prescription. A multibillion dollar/pound advertising designed to terrify people in to obedience is obviously going to have some people adopt advice more enthusiastically than others. Perhaps exercise more caution when applying psycological manipulation in the future
