(5,950 posts)Do you really think you can't get it from touching a surface that's contaminated? Read the CDC's guidelines for keeping your home clean when you are caring for an infected individual. That will change your mind very quickly (and freak you out). I mean I'd rather deal with 5 kids coming home from school with lice.
Additionally, epidemiologists in China did a thorough study with regard to a patient who contracted the virus on a bus. Based on CCTV footage and other means, they determined that the person contracted the virus from another person who was at no time any closer than four and a half feet. They also determined that in a closed environment with air conditioning, like the bus or train or whatever he was on, the virus was circulating in the air for at least 30 minutes.
Another thing we haven't been told about concerns the autopsies that have been conducted in China on infected, deceased individuals. Basically your lungs look like ground glass. And the lung damage, should you survive, is supposedly irreversible.
Reddit has a Coronavirus forum that is actually informative, unlike the bullshit we are being fed by our government.
