    This problem is solved by having paper towels (air dryers suck) and placing the paper towel trash bin next to the door so that you can use your hand-full of towels as a barrier between the handle and throw the towels away as you leave.

      Or motorized door, or no door at all, this clearly isn’t a house, just have an S shaped passage. Voila, way fewer sick people on your building. It quickly pays for itself. And without reminding everyone on every day of how gross humans are.

        it seems like a good idea to me, but my question is would it lead to more poop particles circulating more widely throughout the building than without a door? ig airports, etc seem fine with it so it must not be a big problem?

          No, and when you see those petri dish tests, that’s not poop in the air. There are million of living things in the air around you already. Spores and bacterias and that’s what is growing in the petridish. It is already everywhere and mostly beneficial. But it does make for good clickbait.
