At Burlington GO train station in Ontario, on my way back to Toronto from the US side of Niagara Falls.
I think the higher end transit services are paranoid about losing their passengers to private vehicles, so are pulling out all the stops to maintain a "clean" image.
@pete almost all of those things are good suggestions and things that should be civilizational defaults at this point: hand washing, touch-less technologies, regular sanitization. it's kind of weird that we as a society hadn't been pushing for these things before.
@pete >But in the long term, it can create problems of its own: if bacterial and viral infections aren’t circulating among children, they don’t develop immunity, which leads to larger outbreaks down the line.
so couldn't that same line of logic be used to argue against our attempts at containing COVID?

@kino Of course! Vaccinating ~100% of people who are very unlikely to be harmed by a natural infection isn't a good idea. Better to save them for those at risk given that covid vaccines are a type that covid probably can evolve resistance too. We use antibiotics sparingly for the same reason.
