I don't think it can be absorbed thru the skin, but if the guy in front of you at the gas pump has it and coughs or sneezes on the handle, you touch it with your hands and then touch your face (eyes, nose, mouth) then you could be infected. Same issue at credit card machines, ATMs, door handles, etc.


Yeah, have taken to keeping a small bottle of hand sanitizer in the truck, along with a can of clorox wipes. For gas pump handles, I keep some plastic grocery bags to use as a makeshift glove & then put it in the trash.

I'm being pragmatic. My odds of catching this bug are probably close to 100%, but maybe these things can stop it.
