Re: Seems a bit harsh
Sorry, are you on some heavy medication?
Covid19 is able to stay on a myriad of surfaces for a very long time. The door handles of a black cab will have been used by customers, the driver (to check the rear area) and other parts, such as the seatbelt, will have been touched a lot over the previous fortnight.
The notion that the virus is only airborne reeks from your post. Ultimately black cabs are very expensive and no more or less clean than, for example, trains. You don't have to touch anything when getting on or off a train and they're mostly empty now, so far less chance of touching covid and transferring it to yourself and the windows are opened on all the ones here in Scotland.
