It’s easy enough to clean the handles yourself. I’ve been more concerned for decades over the kiddie poopy seat where people put their fresh produce. The whole basket is full of germs and dirt and bird poop. Our grocery leaves them outside under the porch cover 24/7 so no sunshine but lots of dirt and poop. There’s always birds in the store. Hey, it builds customers’ immunity, right? FYI, lifetime customer here.

Do N95 respirators provide 95% protection level against airborne viruses, and how adequate are surgical masks?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16490606/

The results indicate that the penetration of virions through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified N95 respirators can exceed an expected level of 5%. As anticipated, the tested surgical masks showed a much higher particle penetration because they are known to be less efficient than the N95 respirators. The 2 surgical masks, which originated from the same manufacturer, showed tremendously different penetration levels of the MS2 virions: 20.5% and 84.5%, respectively, at an inhalation flow rate of 85 L/min.
