Corona why don’t they?

[Scrumbleton]

So no doubt Corona could be a big thing in London, particularly because of the numbers and the mass transit systems. So aibu to wonder why they don’t manage the risk by putting hand sanitiser dispensers at the entrance and exit from rail and train stations. It’s not like they didn’t know it was coming.

They'd run out in 30 mins, 1million commute INTO London per day, around 10Mil live there...

It's anti-bacterial not anti-viral and rather than give people a false sense of security it's better if people take responsibility themselves for properly washing their hands.

Hand sanitizer is not very effective against corona and it would lull people into a false sense of security (meaning they’d be less likely to wash their hands which actually is effective)

Just imagine the administrative burden of this OP. Think just how much sanitiser you would need and how often it would be replaced, and then think about the bottleneck of people trying to use it. It honestly wouldn’t work at all.

Theyd be knicked. They're already knicking them from hospitals

A really wacky idea I know, but perhaps people in London are also capable of washing their hands before they put them near their faces, and indeed are already doing so. You know in the same way you presumably think the rest of the country is doing.

YABU to put a corona post in AIBU

IMAGINE the chaos if people did this at rush-hour at a bust station like Oxford Circus or Canary Wharf.

More people would die from the crush than the virus.

During the swine flu epidemic a colleague of mine slipped on sanitizer that had dripped out of a container in the entrance to our work fell and broke her leg (it was a marble floor so she went flying) she sued them and got a fair bit I could see things like that happening. Plus people can just follow advice to wash hands.

A billboard with:
Mouth
Eyes
Nose
would pobably be more effective and easier to implement. i.e. if people don't touch mouth, eyes and nose when out and about and unwashed hands the risk of catching anything is reduced.

Within 10 minutes some fuckers would steal them and flog them for loadsa money.

morons are stealing sanitiser from hospital wards! How long do you think they would last in a station.

They’d be nicked, and even if they weren’t imagine how many thousands of pounds it would cost to have enough gel to last all day in busy stations where thousands of people pass through in a matter of hours. If they could even get the supplies in those numbers at the moment!

There is a Coronavirus Topic! Why are you posting in AIBU?

Please start threads like this in the correct topic.

And hand-washing is going to save us far more than hand sanitizer will.

Why couldn't you use the right topic?

I'm going to have to hide half the threads on the site at this rate. YABU for not posting in the correct topic for this.

It's a health and safety hazard. Commuters would congregate at the entrances and exits and London Underground focuses on keeping people moving.

Aibu to be pissed with the you’re opting in the wrong thread brigade
