When you make that pot of coffee at church or at the office, you are just going to have to use drinkable water.
Well, what does the McOrnery County Department of Health think folks are using now? Are they dipping sludge out of a holding pond in McCullom Lake?
Don't people use tap water to make coffee? Or filtered water? But you'd better not fill that coffee pot from the faucet in the restroom. Well, okay; I can sort of understand that, since people who are washing their hands might put their dirty or soapy hands against the faucet opening.
And those unwrapped cookies and muffins? They must be covered with adequate "sneeze protection."
Don't you just have to wonder how civilization existed for millinnia without these rules? It's not like people are dropping like flies in the streets. Has anyone ever gotten sick at a church potluck or an office birthday party?
I wonder if they will relax the rules with which McHDOH has hammered the County's bed-and-breakfasts. The B&B owners can prepare a fancy breakfast without oversight, but let them bake some chocolate-chip cookies in the afternoon for the arriving guests, and the Department's inspectors have been ready to shut them down.
Your tax dollars are at work, folks...

Bathroom faucets or not safe to get drinking water from....the amount of fecal matter and bacteria present on the faucet that can fall into a cup or pot is frightening. Yet people routinely do it without knowing any better. I know someone who insisted in making her teas using the water she captures in her rain barrel, her defense is she is boiling the water, so it will all be ok.
You make a really good point... for hundreds of years, people were able to eat and drink and leave things where they'd like and not have to worry. Now, if you look at a person wrong, BAM, they are sick.
I blame it on too much protection. Now, you can't go into a building without seeing at least two hand sanitizer stands. People's immune systems need to build up tolerance to bacteria or else they will get sick. Having all these anti-germ things around is not letting our immune systems build up tolerance.
I used to eat dirt as a kid, but I never got sick.
