I was doing that long before covid....I watch the news...so swine flu, chicken flu...just the flu...but there is the rub...when i was living in oregon, shopping carts were used to store/house/colllect/separate all the beverages containers that were worth deposit money ...they were flithy and hardly washed.Lysol Wipes from the dollar store on shopping carts
I have some, but only use it on garbage cans if they get stinky.
