As a long term doc, who's gone thru the HIV crisis as well as the Covid thingee this bathroom contraption is in my mind a perfect example of folks focusing and exacerbating what is a trivial risk. Just wash your damn hands and be done with it (the stuff you're worried about are largely not spread by contact ... a good hand washing severely reduces the bacterial count on your hands anyway even if you briefly touch a door handle). Bacteria are all over the f'n place. Get used to it. That's why you have an immune system ... duh.
I use the door openers or a paper towel. I know my hands are clean, but really, watch how people wash their hands, or don't even bother. Especially after a bm. I'm sure I can pick up germs most anywhere, but the bathroom places where many people don't keep the same cleanliness standard as I do is a top hot spot in my mind. And don't get me started on the blowers that supposedly save waste. What it does is encourage more people to not wash their hands.
So there's your next assignment too. Hand out in bathrooms and observe the poor sanitary standards. That'll get people really wondering!

That Rao's supply would last me about three months.
(I really, truly don’t have a bevy of other bathroom pix on my smartphone.)
