Are you talking about making purchases in these corona virus days?

.. Not as many as I thought got my jest.. Well.. I thought it was obvious.. Does one feel safer paying by credit card rather than (touched by many) U.S. Paper Currency.

We usually pay cash. I have more concern with potential credit card theft than I do with touching money at least so far.
My credit card (we have one) was just hacked. Fortunately it was caught quickly. Both of our daughters have been hacked.

Maybe you should carry some anti-viral coated gloves for the purpose of making purchases.

Good grief I never thought of all those poor cashiers.


I just talked to my blood bank where I give monthly and they said so far nothing has changed in their protocol so far. I would think they would be in the forefront. They are located in a major hospital.

How many millions have been infected so far? What evidence is there that handling money is a factor in its spread?
