Seriously. The next thing you know, they'll be reporting that sex leads to babies.

(Both bits of information are useful to those who truly didn't know them beforehand, but they're hardly news.)

A sidebar in the print version of the article says the T isn't installing hand sanitizer dispensers, because they wouldn't be able to maintain them.

They got that right. One appeared in a T station bathroom a few weeks ago, but it was no longer working after about 2 days.

But a hand sanitizer isn't as complicated. I say let them have a try at it!

According to Dr. Philip M. Tierno Jr., author of a book on germs and director of clinical microbiology at NYU, 80 percent of germs are transmitted by direct or indirect contact.

The other 20% is by magic?

The t-cops have the best way of dealing with germs first they mace them, then they stomp them into oblivion
