Red button on gates

Stay home, be safe, wash hands.
This too will pass.

Thanks for the reminders.

Carry Q Tips. useful for pushing buttons then right into the trash

Carry a long stick to press red buttons. Cut the tip off after each push.

Or, use your gate card. Not necessary to touch anything !!

Some of the golf cart gates have only a red button. Put a plastic bag from Publix over your hand when pushing the gate button and then throw away the bag after turning it inside out.

Garage door button

One's own cellphone has been shown to have more bacteria than a toilet seat in a outhouse at the state fair (slight hyperbole).

The point: cell phones harbor more than three times the number of germs that dirty doorknobs do. Think about that next time you hold that thing up to your face!

Your smartphone screen is probably disgusting. Here's how to clean it

The Dirty Cell Phone: 25,127 Bacteria

From the attached article, if it helps us worry a little bit less, "The CDC states: 'It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object ... but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.' I'm not sure the media is talking about this very much.

Great posts!

Or, you could also use your head.

These are great links Ed, but carona is a virus not bacteria. Thank you

Phones, ipads, tv remotes, computer keyboards, mouse, ear buds get wiped down every evening.

Red button, is nothing.
It's being spread by government chem-trails, I tell you!
Damn snowbirds!

Virus' vs. 'Bacteria
 

'Virus' vs. 'Bacteria' While both can cause disease, viruses are not living organisms, whereas bacteria are. Viruses are only "active" within host cells which they need to reproduce, while bacteria are single-celled organisms that produce their own energy and can reproduce on their own.

Correct, but just add the word "virus" as it holds that as well. Dirty and unsanity from all kinds of schmutz.* ;)

Coronavirus is not "carona" either, but I think the dirty cell phone message stills applies

Outgoing mail
 

Yesterday I discovered the outgoing mail box is locked. There is no notice or explanation. I concluded it’s to prevent many people touching the handle but as I stood there that is exactly what was going on. Some had gloves on and one used a tissue as a barrier but not all. Meanwhile are we to use the slot for the mail we receive in error as the new outgoing mail method? Why isn’t a notice posted as a courtesy if for no other reason? I spoke to a neighborhood watch driver who could not answer the question and neither could his dispatcher.
