I read several of you avoid using public facilities, such as restrooms.  That's understandable.  Cleaning and disinfecting a public place requires attention to detail and a lot of work.  When businesses say they clean and disinfect their facility, do you know what they have actually done?  Federal guidelines are specific for disinfecting a surface after contact with a COVID-19 person.  But... do we know if the virus arrived with last man in?

How Duke Medicine stays sanitary is different than our local BP station.  Disinfecting a hotel room?  Curtains and carpet?  With the cheapest labor available?  You decide. 

Cleaning and disinfecting over at Smithfield Foods uses chemicals strong enough to destroy a pair of boots.  My daughter was buying a new pair of Timberlands every five months. 

I post this for your consideration.

Then the first customer comes in to use the facilities, and you're back to square one...   Undecided

A friend of mine who works at the local hospital told me they're looking into something like this

...if I remember correctly, at a price tag of around 80k.  Could be wrong on price but they're spendy.

I have always and will continue to assume any public restroom is unclean and requires me to take appropriate precautions when and after being in one.

I've found restaurants and gas stations really don't like it when I refuse to use their facilities, says it kills the bushes.  Roll Eyes
