Hand Santisers upon shop entry - flawed?
Discussion
It is just me, or does anyone else think there is something fundamentally wrong with being asked to use a hand pumped sanitiser upon entry to a store?
Scenario 1 - Hand pumped sanitiser
Someone with Coronavirus (perhaps unbeknown to them) enters the store and is asked to use the hand sanister upon entry, thus contaminating the hand pump. I proceed to enter the store shortly after and I am asked to touch the same contaminated surface. There is plenty of evidence available to show that a drop of hand sanitiser does not sufficiently cover all of the hands.
Scenario 2 - No hand pumped sanitiser
Someone with Coronavirus (perhaps unbeknown to them) enters the store as normal to browse items. The store maybe has 10,000 items and they touch 5 of those. Chances are, I am very unlikely to also touch these 5 items and thus not risking contacting a caontaminated surface?
Places with a foot operated pump are fine, but are hand operated pumps not just increasing the risk massivley by having a single surface that everyone has touched?
