My personal belief on why this is not a good argument: our phones are pretty dirty too.

  But at least only you touch it.

    After touching store doors.

      What do the doors have to do with this? "There is more than one point of contact in a store, therefore you might as well not even try to reduce their number." is the same kind of defeatist, just-give-up argument from the headline.

        This virus survives longer on hard surfaces like phones than on soft surfaces like paper money.

        You avoid cash in fear of disease transmission of previous holders, yet you still touch other things others touch. AKA Security theatre.

      You're also touching all that food you just bought, and you just touched your nose, oh and you took out your phone and checked Facebook while waiting in line.

      Don’t most stores have automatic doors?

  But employees won't have to touch your phone.
