I’ll admit I was raised wearing my shoes indoors and still do it. I live in the suburbs and haven’t really ever needed to use public transportation on a long term basis. I guess big cities are different. I go walks everyday and track who knows what in. I also: - touch gas station pump handles - press elevator buttons - touch door handles - use (shared) shopping carts at the grocery store - pick up stray papers blowing through the yard - touch plants and trees in the yard or while walking - pet my dog, even if he’s been outside unattended in the yard Based on some of the comments, I’m wondering if the above revelations will put some people into shock. Granted, during Covid I was much more careful. Small anecdote: my wife is almost a germaphobe while I’m obviously not. She gets sick much much more often. I suppose my immune system is stronger because it’s been exposed to countless small amounts of all kinds of things, just like everyone was for millennia. In my opinion modern society wants everything just a little too sterile. BUT, if I lived in a city of poo-covered streets maybe things would look differently.
