lefftovers #6 - proper corona admin, vol lxiii - i'll get corona (cambridgeside door handles)

I'll get corona... from the self-cleaning door handle.

CambridgeSide has debuted the future - door handles, perfectly safe to the touch. I don't have the details so until I learn more, I'll remain skeptical.

Honestly, it reminds me of the old joke - if all they ever recover from the crash is the black box, why not make the whole plane out of the black box? I estimate 0.000001% of the mall's surface is covered by this 'safe to touch' miracle. Here's my guess - if this stuff was So Great, we'd see it everywhere, but of course, we don't. I suspect the best place to get corona is from these handles, which surely have the highest concentration of COVID germs in all the northeast thanks to everyone going out of their way to touch them.
