ocd compulsions are by definition harmful if they are beneficial they are not compulsions be careful not to allow this crisis to justify what could still be considered irrational and harmful  edit just to clarify when i say compulsions are not beneficial i dont mean that that there isnt a benefit in washing hands regularly or social distancing especially when these are needed however for it to become compulsive in an ocd sense  i would argue this needs to be excessive and cause more harm than good if there is more benefit than harm in an ocd sense then i would argue this was not part of the ocd cycle
