It’s impossible, infections spreads invisibly. Hand washing compliance isn’t 100%. More often than not, people don’t wash their hands properly (full 20 seconds with vigorous scrubbing and rinsing). We cannot stop the spread, we can only do damage control.

People used to protest washing your hands before surgery too. Then gloves etc. impossible to operate like that.
Ends up it works extremely well. Childbirth alone is a perfect example. Women don’t routinely die of infection anymore. Most don’t even need antibiotics.
You sound like a priest from 1820…. All we can do is pray. You’re a backwards Luddite.

I’m an RN that works closely with the infection control department and routinely observe a break in infection control in the 20 years of working in multiple hospitals and healthcare institutions. It’s not backwards, it’s happening now.
