I work in a hospital.
The people around me are germ nuts. They wipe down everything with these “wipes” that smell like strong bleach. If you have a cough, you are wearing a mask. Period. or you go home.
I would feel comfortable eating off of any surface in the OR. My office is right next to Central Sterilizing. That place is as clean as any clean room.
Most of the patients are walking petri dishes. Their families are carriers of God Knows what...and they slobber all over the place.
If you want to see a mess, go to a day-surgery complex. Those places are not inspected and you know they are not getting the sterilization that happens on an industrial level in the hospital.
I probably get exposed to more dangerous pathogens in a day, touching doors and walking in the patient areas, than most people will see in a month.
The stuff that will kill you is kind of scary. And we fix most of it...
the problem though is that some superbugs live and thrive in sterile environments
