A UK supermarket has banned the use of money that was stored in shoes and bras as part of the effort to reign in the spread of COVID-19. Among other strange facts coming out of this outbreak is that some people lick their money before handing it over to the cashier.
We are doomed.
[Ed Note - Updated the story to reflect that the store is called Iceland and is, in fact, a UK supermarket.]

I've heard copper is antibacterial, but is it antiviral?
