I'd like to see a study regarding covid-19 patients and the way they push a grocery cart

I don't wear a mask or gloves in public but I do wipe down the cart handle then push with my closed fists as opposed to wrapping my fingers around the handle with a grip from hell on it just to be safe. I've always done that, actually, since I'm quite a germaphobe to begin with. This way, less germs get on your fingers and fingertips which are what we use to touch other things.

The last few times I've gone to the store I've noticed something that really stands out to me. Obese people and African Americans (two of the hardest-hit demographics) don't bother to hold the cart differently right now. They're all holding the carts with their hand firmly clasped around the handle. Younger folks and healthier-looking folks are pushing their carts like me - with a closed fist.

I really wonder if there's a correlation to confirmed infections and the way they hold the grocery cart handles.



Pics to show what I'm talking about. I'm #1 and the demographics who are hardest-hit (in my personal observations) are #2.
