Interesting idea for a Covi Stick, a hands-off mechanism for pushing buttons and opening doors. However, I can see problems there, you're encouraging people to hold it by the end(s) that you're using to touch possibly contaminated surfaces, you'd really need a central grip area with a hand guard to make sure you don't put your hand on either of the two ends.
Another option is a removable end cap that you only slip off when you need to use it. Looks like you could DIY this on Ponoko if they're still running.
But every time you touch something with that stick you are potentially transferring from surface to surface unless you wipe it down with alcohol every time you use it.
Seems like something that doesn't have a real use and taking advantage of people's fear to me.
