Deadly 'superbugs' invade U.S. health care facilities

[NorthernRaider]

I was interested to note that at some UK based medical facility they replaced many chrome and plastic fittings like door handles, light switches, tap tops, food prep surfaces etc with copper versions and the copper killed all the nasty bacteria that landed on them, If germa cannot survive on a surface they cannot spread of transfer easily.

That itself made me add a little note in my med preps book that after TSHTF if a group had to set up a medical room it may be a good idea to slavage some copper sheets to deply on work surfaces etc.
