I can't help but think of this. I go someplace in my car. I need gas. I pull into station and open gas tank. I put my credit card in the reader and it asks for zip code to be entered. Then it asks if I want a receipt and I punch all the appropriate buttons. I grab nozzle and start pumping, finish and put the nozzle back in the holder. I get in the car and drive off.

Never knowing that 10 min. prior to my arriving at the pump a guy who was feeling bad, had wiped his nose with his hand just before he got out and did what I did after him. You see, he was on the way to the doctor or hospital because he knew that he had been in contact with someone who was infected with Ebola and wanted help.

I drive off to my destination having no idea that I have just acquired the virus.

I knew all those plastic gloves I’ve saved from hair coloring kits would come in handy one day.

I have them in my car now for pumping gas.

I can't believe how infantile the posts are becoming these days. Must we classify you as a sheltered child who has just now figured this stuff out? Or shall we conclude that you are relating this story because you think the rest of us are a bunch of child-like simpletons who need such "revelations"?

I don't know about the majority of our readers around here, but we were taught to keep our fingers away from our faces in the kindergartens of the 50's, and advised to wash hands frequently...in hot water...with soap! Have the common rules of basic hygiene, and the reasons for following them, been lost to such an extent that in the 21st century we now find ourselves succumbed to reading such juvenile tracts?
