One positive thing that occurs to me about spreading the virus

[Mr.Bill]

in today's world vs say, 20 or more years ago is cash. We hardly handle any of it anymore compared to back then. Cash is one of the filthiest things we used to handle, and now I go weeks without touching it.

1. What about that filthy touchscreen that everybody touched before you?

not much of an improvement.

[Mr.Bill]

3. Easier to wipe that clean

than to clean every coin and bill in your pocket or that gets handed to you.

[Blues Heron]

5. Good point.

I wish they would do that between customers. Not likely though.

4. Don't touch it unless you have gloves on. n/t

6. Maybe we should all have our own personal stylus

10. If you don't change them after every time you touch something

You can spread the virus just the same as you would without them.

2. There are...

There are many people who don't even have a bank account, let alone a credit card, but that's not a popular subject, nor is it mainstream.

We still have to handle that dirty, grimy stuff regularly. Darn!

[Mr.Bill]

8. True, but think of it this way.

The cash you do have to touch will probably have been touched by far fewer people than it would have been touched by in earlier times. So the situation benefits all to some degree.

7. When I stay off the toll roads I avoid touching cash for weeks.

[Mr.Bill]

9. And with FastPass,

many tolls are also cashless.
