Travel issue.

I heard a story today that one of the issues that may keep people from traveling are public bathrooms. High traffic area. Not cleaned well. Hand dryers blowing virus everywhere. Nightmare touch surfaces like door handles and faucets. Probably will require some careful thinking.

1. Bathrooms are a problem.

Whether it’s the mall, restaurants, concerts, ballparks or even drive-in movie theaters, Americans are making it clear: They won’t be ready to go out to their favorite destinations until they feel confident about being able to go.

To the bathroom, that is.

The idea of a return to life in public is unnerving enough for many people. But it turns out that one of the biggest obstacles to dining in a restaurant, renewing a doctor’s appointment or going back to the office is the prospect of having to use a public restroom — a tight, intimate and potentially germ-infested space.

It’s a hurdle vexing many business owners as they prepare to reopen in a time of social distancing, reduced capacity and heightened anxiety about the very air we breathe.

2. Carry hand sanitizer for use if you must handle doors or faucets. Also try to use a tissue or paper

towel to handle those. They should consider propping open restroom doors so nobody has to touch them, and shut down hand dryers. Wearing a mask may help a little bit and hold your breath when walking near a hand dryer if in use. But I agree, I would be wary of traveling for these reasons. Also airports should limit how many can go into a restroom at one time.
