Plastic can carry the virus for a while and even now when people are still isolated in their homes there are still advertisement folders wrapped in plastic pushed through each door by hands we do not know,that's a risk and something that has gone seemingly unnoticed.

Yeah things like that are pretty stupid. Like how we can only pay with a card, because then you don’t have to touch money, but we still need to type in the code on a machine, which everyone else touches.

But those advertisement packages should be banned regardless, though, total waste of paper and plastic. I always feel a bit guilty when I have to throw away a whole stack just minutes after I find them in my mail box. Yes, I should get a “NEE”-sticker for my mailbox (a ‘No’-sticker, to prevent spam) but ‘no’ should just be the default and there should exist “Yes”-stickers instead.

Anyway this is another offtopic matter entirely.

Same here in Canada. I get the mail from the mail box, take the one letter or usually none and the rest goes straight into the recycling bin sitting next to the door. I guess I could put the recycling bin next to the mailbox with a "put advertisements in here" sticker on it.

I did switch back to paper billing for my credit card since they got me with their timing. I pay it off fully every couple weeks yet their computer still managed to find a date and pay before with some left over balance to stick me with late fees and interest lol. However when you use a debit card the bank charges you straight away for transactions. Automation is more expensive than carrying cash back and forth! But if you keep the balance under the tap amount, no touch. Not that it matters, still got to touch all the groceries, which got handled by a lot of people. Gas at the pump, same thing. Sanitizer in the car, don't touch your face.
