I know posters here often don't like the paper seat covers for themselves, much less for their kids, and say that they don't do much. But I think the article's trying to say, use them as another barrier between a young child's grabby hands and the seat surface itself. [/quote]

Or, you know, you could teach your kids to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

I don't understand why so many people seem to think you can get infected from touching something.  Just avoid touching your face when you're in the bathroom and before you wash them.  That's generally good advice, not specific to COVID.  Unless you happen to like pink eye, that is.[/quote]

I guess ymmv, but my 4 year old touches EVERYTHING all.of.the.time. Yes we wash hands after using the bathroom, but between going pee and getting to sink he has already touched a few dozen other things, possibly including his face. Telling him to try not to touch anything only makes it worse.

Sure, as an adult, avoiding viruses seems really simple. Just don't touch your face, and be aware of your surroundings. But those are two things that young children are horrible at![/quote]
