Unless any kind of contact with food takes place. Much of my work is at events like conferences and company meetings - 90% of meals are buffet style. Breaks tend to have platters of food and many do not use the provided tongs when taking appetizers.

The CDC recommends proper hand hygiene as a primary way of avoiding sickness.

You're right that most of us come into contact with millions (maybe billions) of germs everyday but look at the items that have the highest concentration of germs - computer keyboards, cell phones, door handles - all places that get consistently touched by people's hands.
