Faecal bacteria are everywhere there's humans
Your entire premise is fake and gay.
All the strains of niggers - pooniggers, sandniggers, taconiggers, jewniggers, etc - are not human. When subhumans are imported into human civilization, you get subhuman results. Subhumans do not clean themselves, care for others, or the environment, as humans do. This is the source of shit on touchscreens, not humans. Subhumans do not belong in civilization.

I went from being alarmed by the article to being calmed down by your reasoning that dug deeper. It's hard to grasp that most issues are more complex than we want life to be. Thank you.
Even so, I'm going to try using my knuckles on the next cash machine. Getting creeped out about germs, it's hard for us humans to forget. Our skin houses some 800 interactive bacteria species, on a good day. Most are providing beneficial services of which we know very little. Our gut has lots more going on than we want to even think about. Their cells inside and out, outnumber "our" cells.
The researcher has done us all a service in raising awareness. This infection vector goes from screen to mouth in a minute. The science explanation was too simplistic, when isn't it? For E coli, I read it takes about 10,000 cells to cause an infection, one isn't enough.

Not saying you should eat at McDonalds' either, I don't. But not because the food isn't clean, I just expect that of restaurants.

Probably not a bad idea. Here's another one, cough into the crook of your elbow, not your hand. That way you don't spread as many germs.

It's all a numbers game. Same goes for most illnesses, viruses, cancer, parasites etc.

Many diseases exist thru the oral/fecal route.

Indians and moslems make a practice of it, and probably some other 'cultures' too. They use the left hand to wipe, so there's a huge stigma around anything to do with the left hand.

Indeed. There's not a whole lot of overlap between people who are hygienic and people who eat McDonald's. It's the Walmart of fast food.

I bet the touchscreens are cleaned more often than traditional menus at other restaurants.

Yeah actually... I've worked in a couple and I don't remember ever cleaning a menu.
