You’re confusing different things. “Contact tracing” has nothing to do with touching things. It just means you had some kind of contact with someone who had covid. Not even physical touch, just being relatively close.
Covid does not spread well through surfaces. This created huge waste as people were trying to deep clean with isopropyl alcohol, resulting in isopropyl alcohol shortages and companies putting in more dangerous forms of alcohol in hand sanitizer. It was completely unnecessary.
Which isn’t what the covid contract tracing apps did. They just looked for proximity. Which makes sense, because covid is primarily transmitted by breathing around people.
Nothing open to the public should have a touch interface. Has Covid taught us nothing?
There’s also a QR code you can scan to control it via your phone. I’m sure no one has exploited that.
And at least your phone has (mostly) only your own fecal bacteria on the screen.
Speak for yourself.
It’s a study, not just me.
I use my semi erect pinky to push it just to be safe.
Hey fellow semi erect pinky pusher!
I use the second knuckle of my middle finger.
I use my semi erect something else ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Covid doesn’t transmit on surfaces very well.
Other things do.
Then we didn’t learn it from covid.

How are the buttons more hygienic?? A screen is much easier to clean or protect with plastic.
The ones where you press the lever with the cup are.
