Hindus have a strict concept of "jootha"—personal hygiene in sharing food with another person's saliva/microbiome on it.

In general Muslim believe in communal sharing of food where fluids/biome is exchanged.

Does religious-behavior encourage community spread of #CoronaPandemic?
I am intrigued by the latest research on the human microbiome. It appears that many Hindu practises had high awareness of this.

Otoh, if some communities share the microbiome extensively, I wonder if that also encourages a certain herd behavior?

Absolutely, that is an entire Loka within us.

Lokah Samastah Sukhinau Bhavantu.

At #TabligiJamaat 4 people would eat from the same plate, and the leftovers would stay, then another 4 people would eat from the same plate.

How conservative Islamic practise can spread viruses.

Eating from the same plate and drinking from the same bottle is *prescribed* in Islam. This is why these Orthodox Muslim groups do it. The Tik-tok videos are accurately portraying the belief.

"Leftover water of Muslims is pure" so "no harm in drinking."
