2023 - Good Morning,. Afternoon, Night

Good evening everyone.
I have another supermarket story to share with you and this one has me worried.
In Morries this afternoon, there's a mother and her young daughter ?about 8 years old? (I'm not good with kid's ages.- they all look the same to me).
The mother shouts at her daughter "Don't touch that, you'll catch AIDS. Don't touch anything here- its all full of AIDS".
The child, ignores her mother's warning and picks up something else ........"Put that back" shouts mother, "Its plastic. We don't want plastic in the house"
Child answers "but we have plastic in the house now".
Mother replies "but we don't want any more".

Now I can understand the plastic issue but everything in Morries will give you AIDs?
When I was a kid we were told not to sit on public toilet seats in case we caught anything - we were never warned off shopping in Morries.
