Is it time to change the communal eating culture?

pnp (China)

Long overdue, even without coronavirus outbreak. We should have common chopsticks and common spoons; the old communal style eating is a health risk! Hope the use of common utensils will be the new normal in Chinese eating from now on, but alas, it is too much to hope for, old habits are hard to change! Hope the fear of corovirus spread will spur change for the better! Not every family member needs to be provided with a set of public chopsticks and spoons, just have one set for all to scoop food onto the plate instead of using own chopstick as in old practice!
