Thanks @Chris773
We read, and shared, the Science research papers on diseases & money when we were told we couldn't use cash & notes for transactions back in March 2020 when New Zealand first went into lockdown.
Bus drivers & bank staff told us it was so Health Officials could do "Community Contact Tracing" by forcing people to use electronic transactions.
Some places are still out right refusing cash despite it been Legal Tender and no solid proof anyone has got Covid19/ Coronavirus from touching it. There's a greater likelihood of getting germs from flexi-Perspex that's never cleaned!!
New Zealand money is according to the Science papers online, some of the cleanest in the world as it's polymer.
Some countries have cloth, linen notes. It is also dependent on if people have washed & dried hands & what substances they have touched - including snorting drugs with notes & basic sanitation measures available.
No two people are the same with money and in most situations it's a minority who may have a contagious disease.
Money is also supposed to be sanitized, as per Documents on our official Treasury website.
One thing that struck me after reading some of these research papers is the use of Imitation / Fake mucus & other substances, the fact it's undertaken in what are generally artificial lighting air conditioner laboratories.
The fearmongering anything we touched or the air we breathed could potentially give a Coronavirus to others or receive it wherever we went was an over-reaction by those who should know better.
The blanket approach of calling a State of Emergency and using such an Act remains unanswered and must be in Courts of Laws for the betterment of all.
As an example, The Boxing Day Tsunami where nature destroyed lives , homes & left vast numbers of dead bodies in a close proximity in the heat is vastly different to say a Fire, Epidemic, Tornado, earthquake and other emergencies in localised areas.
Some of those events involve differing medical expertise, rebuilding of basic core services & buildings, and not necessarily in others .
As many have questioned, who decides what job or enjoyment in life is "essential" over and above others?
Shutting down all churches and libraries and denying people the right to see each other in times of need is inhumane and disproportionate.
btw, Who wrote the papers for Disinfecting properties?
What year was it first written?
There's mention of disinfecting places back in the 1800's Public Health Acts which was quite a different world.....and when people lived in tents or caves..
