This was at the doctor’s office today. I have no idea what it means. I do like that someone added that question mark. It wasn’t me. (And per the comments below and ones I’ve received on social media, it is likely the case that this empty rack is a remnant of when healthcare providers were concerned about physical objects as transference vectors for Coronavirus.)
My guess is to prevent the spread of germs on the magazine pages?
I suppose this could be a remnant from the time when everyone was very careful not to spread a certain virus. Someone even went to the trouble of laminating the notice!
