Add the Covid Claw to your packing list.

[ilovetotravel1977]

My office bought us all one of these lol

 

I agree that you would need to clean it as well as your hands.

[ldubs]

I kind of like like this gadget.   I know folks who would really want one.  I, for real, just bought two!  I will be the envy of everyone across California who has to touch a door handle!  😎

Touch anything, just use hand sanitizer.  Carry a small bottle with you.

I have always used my knuckle to press elevator buttons.  And, not because of Covid, but it's a habit I picked up years ago during flu season.  

 

Here's an interesting tidbit, surfaces made of brass and copper are extremely hostile to "germs".  Door handles used to be made of brass.  Some restaurants and stores have brass handles now.

You don't even need to carry a bottle with you. They have public hand sanitizer everywhere now. Cruise ships will probably have them every few feet like they have them in a hospital.

As some businesses have suffered others have have made lemonade out of lemons. I would never use this. I’m not a germaphobe even in the middle of a pandemic but I bet they sell a lot of them. The only appliance we take on a cruise is a corkscrew.

So with you!!!

I have a small bottle that you can attach to your purse from Purell, I just refill it.

[pcur]

I think I'll just continue to use my hands, and sanitize THEM after touching.  I don't have to pack my hands, either!! 😁

The Covid Claw showed up as a suggestion on my Amazon Account. This should be added to the packing list along with the white noise machines, over the door shoe holders and Door decorations.  It’s perfect for those who are afraid of elevator buttons.

 

 

 

 

 

Are you ready to cruise during the pandemic ?

[WeatherFx]

They issued Covid Claws to all our county workers a while back.

[island lady]

I don't know...I always seem to have trouble using mine for buttons, etc.

The only corkscrew that you can legally take on a plane are those without the knife blade.

We take a standard corkscrew and put it in our checked bag. As a matter of fact we just keep it in our luggage so we always have it.  I have never owned a Swiss Army Knife

Walmart has a knock off of this gadget for a few bucks.

Always hated the Brass-O smell on your hands if you touched the back rail in MJ's centrum elevator

[Mikew0805]

LOL. No thanks.

Doesn't need to be a Swiss Army Knife to have a blade.  Many corkscrews have a blade.

Otherwise (officially?) known as a “foil cutter”

You just use the Covid Claw directly in lieu of toilet paper.

Could be.  TSA calls it a blade.

I have never seen one of those. Didn't  know that they exist. What is the blade used for?

[Goodtime Cruizin]

Actually not too bad of a design but it's missing one key thing... a hook to hang your mask on after you walk through a restaurant and then sit at your table.

This one has a small blade.  It's used to remove the foil that's over the cork

I agree and probably will have them at the elevators.
