I saw something on the other site with a graph regarding gastro cases in Australia (or Victoria) and there was huge upward spike recently.
This makes me want to touch the poles and buttons on the tram even less.
You need to elbow those buttons.
yes you lean on them so they perpetually beep act like nothing is happening then watch everyone wonder why no one is getting off whilst staring at you.
I admit I haven't been on a tram since early 2019. Even before then I was lathering up on hand sanitiser and allowing the more eager brave commuter to press the button.
