these things are suddenly everywhere. they appeared in the lobby of my office building several weeks ago and i soon noticed that it wasn't just my building. now i see them in courthouses and train stations, like the one pictured here from 30th street station this morning.
they're still around even though the mania about swine flu has largely subsided (though the flu itself has not). i wonder whether these hand sanitizer will still be around after everyone has forgotten about H1N1. maybe they'll just become one of those things we expect to see in public spaces.
