After work I drove to the grocery store, as I was getting out of my car I noticed a shopping cart nearby where five birds were perched.  After they flew away I noticed they left behind poop on the child seat in the cart.  When I was leaving a stockboy was pushing the carts back into the store.   If or maybe I should say when the birds bring the virus to the US we will need to be careful with  shopping carts that are left outside.  People place their children in the carts along with their groceries.  A good way to become infected. or bring the virus into your home.

I noticed the same thing when I was at costco the other day. Only after my shopping spree at costco I decided to enjoy one of their yummy cheap hot dogs outside, and I noticed birds landing on the tables in the eating area and scavenging food. Those tables dont get wiped down very much as it is and i am sure they are not disinfected very often.

Yes when you go to the store here (Seattle Area)they have alchohol hand wipes by where you pick up your cart. to wipe down the handles and such. I always do ,but must admit I have never seen anyone else do it! I keep reminding mom but she just never thought about it? As far as the outside tables you wouldn't catch me there. again they probably never thought about it
I'm not a ribbering Jidiot!
