Letter to Sen. Thom Tillis regarding his recent statements on hand-washing.

Dear Sen. Tillis,

While it may be the case that some unnecessary regulations are overburdening
our small businesses, the idea that requiring employees to wash their hands
after using the bathroom is unnecessary is completely disgusting. Washing
hands is acknowledged by every medical authority ever as a critical way to
prevent the spread of germs and other contaminants. The idea that public
establishments should be able to forgo such requirements shows a serious
lack of concern for the health of your constituents. I strongly encourage
you to apologize for your use of hand-washing as an example of an "unnecessary
regulation," and declare your commitment to following our society's most basic
practices of sanitation and disease control.

Sincerely,
Matthew Frazier
