This New Age Of Ultra-hygienics
If there's one thing to be said about the COVID-19 pan(ic)demic it's the way so many individuals and businesses have suddenly become aware of germs, bacteria, and viruses, and of the importance of keeping things clean and wiped down.
It's like the whole culture has taken a crash course in remedial High School Biology 101.
It was only a few months ago when customers who patronized restaurants, bars, coffee shops had to brush crumbs off the table when they sat down to eat or drink.
Now the employees are wiping down tables, booths, and chairs EVERY TIME they get used, and are spraying counters and door handles with disinfectant spray constantly.
Gone, too, are the days of mindless slobs coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths and face.
Of course it's rather hard to cough and sneeze openly while wearing face masks.

Here in the UK bars, restaurants and coffee shops are still closed. Still can't get a damn hair cut either. I quite like the idea of all these places being that much cleaner when they do open up. Maybe it will cut down on the deaths due to the flu each year too.
