Your computer keyboard is probably dirtier than a toilet seat.
In fact, an Australian study found that the typical desk has 400 times the amount of bacteria found on a toilet seat.
Toilet seats actually harbor around 50 bacteria per square inch, making that a relatively un-germy zone. Not so with the computer, especially those shared by multiple people. One Chicago hospital found that its computer keyboards held drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus like MRSA for up to 24 hours.

President Trump issued a stern warning to North Korea's dictator
President Donald Trump said he was going to "remain flexible" and left open the possibility of shelving highly anticipated talks between the US and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"We've never been in a position like this with that regime," Trump said during a joint press conference with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe on April 18, 2018. "I hope to have a very successful meeting. If we don't think that it's going to be successful ... we won't have it. We won't have it."
