Think about how many things you and others touch which are related to commerce - money, ATMs, point-of-purchase terminal screens, etc. All are potential spreaders of disease, especially ones as contagious as COVID-19. All of them could be eliminated by going cashless and touchless.

Don't be surprised if the powers that be seize on this opportunity to do just that:

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
