How much is a human life worth?

Have we been Bonv°yed? (!)

Point is, we share lots of things as part of staying in a hotel. Why are we honing in on soap dispensers as a problem alone?

This is hyperbolic waxing with no scientific basis, that studiously ignores the core issue.

Because there is a pandemic?

Because soap dispensers are a multi-use touchpoint and uniquely difficult to clean?

For the same reason that breakfast buffet lines have been truncated, curtailed, or bagged?

Closing one's eyes to the changed circumstances does not make them go away. As Bill Clinton might have said, "It's the pandemic, stupid!“
