The CDC says, "It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.“
"The Washington Post" visited some retail stores in San Francisco to see if businesses and customers are taking extra precautions.
-Definitely concerned about coronavirus.
Exposing myself to any unnecessary risk is not something I'm necessarily looking to do right now, with everyone feeling sick.
I went to the Apple store.
I had a Genius Bar appointment for an issue with my AirPods.
I purposefully didn't interact with any screens or anything of that nature or shaking anyone's hand, very much on purpose.
-I had just bought a new phone, and I was trying to -- and an Apple Card, so I was trying to download it on my Wallet there, and then erase my old phone and turn it in.
When I was there, and we were touching the different things, I really wasn't even thinking about it in the store.
I'm not -- I'm not that consciously worried about it.
I think I take as much precautions in washing my hands all the time or when I'm on and off the bus.
I am concerned enough to do the precautions, but not obsessive.
-Apple tells "The Washington Post" it has significantly increased cleaning at all its retail stores.
In a recent email to its employees, the company said, "Deep cleaning protocols are our top priority," and that they are being put into place in its stores, offices, and employee shuttles.
-You've got to know that if somebody's touching my glasses, I'm going to be looking at their hygiene.
I'm a flight attendant, so I take a great deal of precautions.
And basically, it doesn't go beyond washing my hands excessively.
I'm washing them constantly, but that is huge.
I'm aware of everything -- absolutely everything.
And the key is, wash your hands before you touch your face.
-Warby Parker says that in addition to its regular cleaning procedures,
"We're taking extra precautions to update our sanitization policy in accordance with CDC guidelines, including wiping down all surfaces and frames regularly throughout the day, and using the appropriate cleaning materials for all products, devices, and surfaces."
In a written statement, Microsoft tells "The Washington Post," "We are carefully monitoring our retail stores, partnering with our mall operators and closely following the guidance of global health authorities.
As a precautionary measure, we are increasing the frequency of cleaning and sanitizing, including adding employees for ongoing cleaning throughout the day and adding hand sanitizer for customer use." -I was looking for a new iPhone, the latest model.
I think, just because of what's been going on, I'm not -- you know, I walk with my hands in my pockets, and on public transit, I don't touch anything.
And you know, and doorknobs, I use a Kleenex or a towel.
I use hand sanitizer.
I have some in my backpack, I have some in my pocket, I have some at my desk, I have some at home.
So, and you know, disinfecting, you know, spray and stuff, more than usual.
-Verizon did not comment on its store cleaning policies.
It has an all-seeing eye with a scary soundtrack.
[Johann Bach's "Toccata D Minor" plays] I'm Washington Post tech columnist Geoff Fowler, and I'm gonna show you how new cars use built-in cameras to catch potential crimes in the act.
How's that work? I'm gonna pretend to be a bad guy and show you how.
This is a Tesla Model 3, the most popular American electric car.
Most new cars have cameras, but the Model 3 has eight cameras, which is uses for backing up, cruise control, and its budding self-driving capabilities.
But a year ago, it added one more trick, which is calls Sentry Mode.
It's turns all those cameras into a rolling security system.
More and more cars offer something like this.
It's been on some Cadillacs since 2016.
When Sentry Mode is turned on, the camera is looking for disturbances out of a set of front cameras, two side cameras, and a back camera.
When someone or something gets close, a warning appears on the screen in the center console.
"You are being recorded." Most of the time, that just takes video of people scooching by in tight parking spots.
But there's another level when things go awry.
When the car senses a major disturbance, like a loud noise or jostle, it will set off an alarm, complete with music, chosen by Tesla to leave an impression.
When that happens, Sentry Mode also sends a notification to your phone.
The car saves all of that camera footage to a memory stick.
You can watch it later in high definition, but only if you have physical access to the car.
Unlike connected Ring doorbells and other webcams, you can't stream video from a Tesla, and it doesn't record audio.
Police also can't directly access the footage.
And for privacy's sake, that's probably a good thing.
Now a few caveats.
Leaving Sentry Mode on does sip a Tesla's precious battery.
You lose 1 mile of range for every hour it runs.
And Sentry Mode won't stop a crime in progress.
If someone keys your car, all you get is a video of it happening.
And if someone gets into your car, you won't have a record of what they took.
There's an inward-facing camera, but Tesla, for some reason, hasn't turned it on.
But Sentry Mode has caught real bad guys.
For me, it helped track down a hit and run while my car was parked.
The suspect? A city bus that gashed the bumper.
Soon, all cars will be mobile surveillance machines.
Are we ready for that?
