But first the carrier folds them so they touch the paper, touch the bag and touch it again when they toss them on the driveway. Who knows how many of them get sneezed or coughed on while in the car. I take it out of the bag, toss it in the trash and wipe my hands. I would assume a lot of people that are cautious have cancelled their subscription.
