Environmentalists, how do you feel about your spreading of the China Virus by promoting and making laws about reusable bags?

Gotta laugh at people like Oikook, who apparently don't understand the difference between primary sources and secondary sources.

The New York Post is simply reporting on research, such as this:

"An earlier study of supermarkets in Arizona and California found large numbers of bacteria in almost all the reusable bags — and no contamination in any of the new single-use plastic bags. When a bag with meat juice on the interior was stored in the trunk of a car, within two hours the number of bacteria multiplied tenfold."

Peer reviewed research often confirms what most of us all know through common sense.  Climate Clowns are ideological with no common sense.  That's why they depend on government so much.

First, plastic bags were good because they saved trees. Then they were bad. Better option is the reusable bags -- however many are made of synthetics and the environmental benefit from them comes after one is used for many many years. Now we're back to plastic bags because reusable bags can spread disease. Interesting progression.

The article claims that, but it's not what any of its links are talking about.

Hint: Norovirus =/= Coronavirus.

Just go to your search engine and type it in, and maybe you can understand the results.

If the coronavirus is on anything in the supermarket, ANY bag will bring it home with you.  The risk these papers are talking about is from pathogens remaining on the bag, and getting on new packages the next time you take it to the store.  Coronavirus doesn't survive long enough outside the body for that to apply.

These sickos always move from one crisis to the next.  They don't want to be held responsible for the carnage that their stupidity causes.  Look what they did to minorities.  Look at their "war" on poverty.  Everything they touch is ruined yet they still pat themselves on the back and move to the next crisis.   I pointed out to these idiots long ago that my plastic bags don't end up in the ocean.  My straws don't either.  Facts and reality don't matter to these creeps.  

Funny that CAGW tool Oikoo mentions the word “could”. Alarmunists favorite words are “could”, “may”, “possibly”. 

It's trump's plague and it has nothing to do with plastic bags....

Reused bags are just another example of good intentions gone bad.

Every see these filthy grime bags people use at the grocery?

It's usually some PBS watching cat lady who hasn't bathed in two weeks. 

What a ridiculous article, purely written to designed to appeal to shallow people that want an excuse for their bad behavior. Among all the threats of exposure to the Sagebrush virus, this has to be near the bottom. I call it the "Sagebrush virus" because I imagine people like Sagebrush are super-spreaders. The last time I went to a grocery store (two weeks ago) I encountered a male of about Sagebrush's age (and intelligence) that not only insisted on talking to me, but kept moving closer and closer as I kept backing up. I had a similar experience in a grocery store the week before, where another erstwhile Sagebrush tried to hand me a card with a QR code on it for some fundamentalist Christian talk show he ran. I guess people like Sagebrush would use any calamity--no matter how bad--to push their politics on us.

Very bad. it contributed to the spread the the virus was very bad in general because people that needed to go places couldn't and people that needed places to go to just put them in a worse situation that would've helped them if the virus had not been here

"Could help" is not the same thing as "does help". The NY Post is in the business of selling newspapers, not giving useful advice.
