No they will not tell us which laundromats. They need to protect the laundromats! The public? Well…they don’t protect the public anymore. All we get from the people we pay to keep us safe are closed doors and they keep all the secrets…

I actually read in a previous LoCO story the names of 2 laundromats suspected of being contaminated. You can check it out if you’re worried…

Well crap. Another microscopic monster out on the prowl in old town. I’m wondering it it came from the knobs or from inside the Machines themselves ?

So are these cases not connected to the earlier ones or is it just that they are but showed up later?

Some more advice would be is protect your hands when touching very public areas – like door handles, opening free newspaper boxes, grocery carts, yadayada. I use my sleeve or shirt end when I’m touching most of these items.

Gloves… old fashioned gloves that can be thrown in the wash after use.

There is a segment of our population that uses the outdoor facilities. If you go outdoors it is like getting a manicure from Madge. At least with needles being coveted and reused I do not find needles where I walk anymore.
