I'm fairly certain that pilots do not have a pre-flight routine of touching all the arm rests or coughing on the tray tables in the passenger cabin.
Sure, there is a possibility that the pilot used the bathroom on the plane - but everyone is taking extra precautions when using a public bathroom.
Much more worrying would be a headline
"Aircraft cleaner tests positive for Coronavirus"
To some people, it might matter; however, to others, it might not. If it doesn't matter to you the solution is simple: move along to the next thread.
