How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses.

My greatest concern is that the opposition has lost all hope, feels they have nothing to lose. And are getting all Machiavellian about it. They seem to have sworn to make this country ungovernable through a series of Nonsensical mass actions. A case of " if we can't have it, no one else can".

A hopeful person is unlikely to commit suicide. #PEACEnLOVE for my beloved country
