Well, they both need to follow local law regarding their duty to provide aid. It varies around the country. They’d likely be protected as long as they didn’t break professional ethics, but it does vary some.

Ballet dancer.

Skinny.

I dunnnoooooo, seems like an oxymoron. Never met a serious dancer that didn’t have thighs like granite.

Though, at 95 at that height, I must admit that you were wiry rather than stacked lol.

Well, if you’re proper skinny, you ain’t pressing 500.

That being said, as long as you’re doing enough exercises while adding the fat, you will at least maintain your strength. Fat guys in the gym tends to have a noticeable increase in weights on a leg press vs a squat because when you’re squatting, you’re lifting the extra body mass. Well, presses are a tad easier as well, what with it being stabilized by the sled.

But, yeah, if you hang with lifters that carry extra fat, they’ll tend to have decent leg gains by virtue of hauling around the extra mass all day.

Even with people that don’t lift, they’ll be able to push more in a press than a squat.

They didn’t do due diligence. It was easily prevented by double checking everything

For me, it’s because I was born with a defective give-a-shitter and that thing died completely about a decade ago.

That’s not even a joke.

But you run into it a lot. It isn’t just older folks, but it amounts to people being prone to it gradually losing their filter for it. When you’re younger, you tend to care more about perceptions. At some point, that starts going away because you realize it isn’t worth the energy it takes, and you have less energy anyway.

They aren’t sterile, and I’ve never actually run into anyone that seemed to think they are.

What they are is clean enough
The paper is rolled up, relatively dry, usually wrapped in a barrier, and isn’t a food product that will draw unusual amounts of pathogen carrying critters. So you end up with something that is cleaner than the things you use it on, akin to rag you pull out of a drawer that you washed weeks ago. Or a dish that’s been sitting in your cabinet for similar periods.

When it comes down to what they’re used for commonly, that’s clean enough. It won’t be bringing pathogens into contact with anything you’ll take inside your body. That’s all that matters.

Mind you, it assumes you’re storing them in a way that keeps junk off of them. But as long as that assumption holds, you can use them as napkins (which are no more sterile), use them to mop up spills (likely cleaner than av actual mop), as a crumb barrier and wrapper for a sandwich, whatever.

There’s really nothing you would be likely to use them for that would be problematic, particularly in an emergency. Better than toilet paper in that regard, as tp is treated to break down easily in water (and the chemicals used to do that stink btw). If you need a wad of something to cram down on a wound to control bleeding, as an example, paper towels would be better than a random shirt you pulled off your body, as it’s going to have lower concentrations of things like staph, yeast, and strep, as well as the numerous other critters that populate our hides even fresh out of a shower.
